Saudi Arabia inaugurated its pavilion today at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2025, which runs from April 26 to May 5, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

The pavilion showcases the Kingdom’s remarkable achievements in literature, publishing, and translation.

Led by the Literature, Publishing, and Translation Commission, the Kingdom’s participation in the 34th edition of the fair includes contributions from several prominent entities, including the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives, the King Abdulaziz Public Library, Princess Nourah University, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, and the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran.

The pavilion features a dedicated section for the UNESCO Chair in Translating Cultures—an initiative of the Literature, Publishing, and Translation Commission—designed to promote research and partnerships that support cultural translation as a bridge between civilizations.

This platform facilitates communication and the exchange of expertise with visitors and stakeholders from the publishing and cultural sectors worldwide, reflecting the vibrancy of Saudi Arabia’s cultural movement and its commitment to regional and international cooperation.

Through its participation, the Kingdom seeks to strengthen cultural ties with the United Arab Emirates, building on a shared literary and intellectual heritage. Ongoing joint initiatives in literature, publishing, and translation have bolstered this collaboration, supporting the two nations’ aspirations to cultivate an integrated Gulf cultural scene capable of presenting a unified and high-quality voice to the world.
