The Saudi Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission is gearing up to spearhead Saudi Arabia’s participation in the London Book Fair 2025, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The London Book Fair 2025 will take place from March 11-13, 2025, in Olympia London. It is a platform where the global publishing community unites to develop relationships, gain insights, and define the future of creative content.
Saudi Arabia’s participation aims to foster cultural ties and knowledge exchange between the Kingdom and the UK. It also aims to strengthen joint cooperation in the fields of literature, publishing and translation, in addition to enhancing the presence of Saudi publishing houses in key regional and global cultural platforms.
Furthermore, the Saudi Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission, through its participation in international book fairs, seeks to open avenues for Saudi publishers to connect with global publishing houses, to promote knowledge exchange and introduce Saudi publishers and literary agents to international publishing experiences.
This aligns with the Commission’s commitment to foster connection between the local and international publishing sectors in order to develop the cultural sector and enrich the Arabic content.
In the light of this, Saudi Arabia’s participation in the London Book Fair 2025 involves five government entities: King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL); King Abdulaziz Foundation (Darah); King Abdulaziz Public Library; King Fahd National Library; and the Publishing Association.
