Baku: The Baku International Book Fair kicked off yesterday in Azerbaijan, with Qatar serving as the guest of honour. The event will run until October 7, 2025.

Qatar’s participation in this fair, represented by the Ministry of Culture (MoC), reflects its commitment to showcasing the nation’s cultural presence, as well as its local intellectual and literary output to a diverse global audience.

This effort also aligns with Qatar’s active role in supporting both the Arab and global cultural scene, reinforcing collaboration with cultural institutions and publishing houses, presenting a comprehensive portrait of Qatar as a cradle of creativity and a hub of cultural and civilizational diversity, and highlighting the MoC’s focus on enhancing cultural exchange and opening pathways to global experiences, thereby building bridges of communication among innovators, publishers, and those engaged in cultural affairs.

The ministry participates with a pavilion that wields the features of Qatari conventional architecture, offering visitors a prolific and integrated cultural experience.
