The Culture, Tourism and Entertainment Committee of the Saudi-Qatari Coordination Council held on Monday its first meeting at the Riyadh International Book Fair.
The meeting was chaired by Saudi Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan and his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al Thani.
The committee members discussed the committee's achievements, its objectives and initiatives in the cultural, tourism, and entertainment domains, and issued several recommendations aimed at boosting cooperation between the two countries.
The two countries have close ties and strive to boost cooperation and integration, in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 and Qatar's National Vision 2030.
The two ministers also toured the fair, where Qatar is the guest of honor.
Some 2,000 publishing houses from 30 countries are taking part in this year's fair, which brings together local and international writers, publishers, and readers, promoting cultural exchange and knowledge sharing.
