Sharjah’s global efforts to encourage literary movements and the richness of Emirati and Arab cultures will be under the spotlight at Latin America’s largest book fair next year.
In a recent announcement made by the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) organisers, the emirate has been named the “Guest of Honour†at the FIL’s 34th edition, to be held from November 28 to December 6, 2020.
Ahmed bin Rakkad Al Ameri, Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), said, “The efforts of HH Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, for more than 40 years have taken the Emirati and Arab cultures to the farthest corners of the world. We are here in Mexico today as we are passionate about continuing these tremendous efforts. As the guest of honour at FIL 2020, we will be bringing His Highness’s message of fostering love, tolerance and coexistence through culture to the beautiful Mexican community.â€
Sharjah is preparing a comprehensive cultural programme which will highlight past and recent accomplishments in Emirati and Arab literature in Latin America.
