Saudi Arabia’s Literature, Publishing, and Translation Commission will lead the Kingdom’s participation in the 2025 Beijing International Book Fair as part of the Saudi-Chinese Cultural Year 2025.
The participation reflects the depth of the strategic partnership between the two countries and their shared aspirations to strengthen cultural and intellectual exchange between their peoples.
The initiative is part of the commission’s ongoing efforts to represent the Kingdom at international cultural forums, promote Saudi literary and intellectual achievements, and explore new avenues of cooperation in literature, publishing, and translation. It aligns with a Saudi Vision 2030 objective of making culture a key pillar of development.
Saudi Arabia’s participation will feature a prominent institutional presence, including several government entities. The program will include seminars, literary gatherings, and dialogue sessions that highlight cultural exchange between Saudi Arabia and China. The goal is to strengthen the global presence of Saudi literature and open pathways for Arabic content in the Chinese market.
The Kingdom was the guest of honor at the 2024 Beijing International Book Fair, where the commission presented a rich and diverse cultural program. The participation included seminars, artistic performances, and interactive activities that drew significant interest from visitors and contributed to boosting the presence of Saudi literature in China while boosting cultural and intellectual cooperation between the two nations.
