As part of its commitment to facilitate Emirati publishers' access to new global book markets, the Emirates Publishers Association participated in the 18th edition of the Ghana International Book Fair, which concluded yesterday in the Ghanaian capital, Accra.

The Ghana International Book Fair is one of the most prominent specialized fairs and one of the largest literary events in Africa, and the association's participation in this event will help Emirati publishers conclude agreements and partnerships with publishers from all over the world.

The association’s team, headed by Rashid Al-Kous, Executive Director of the Emirates Publishers Association, and Maryam Al-Obaidly, Director of Corporate Communications at the Association, held a series of meetings during the exhibition, focused on exploring new opportunities to expand the Association’s business around the world, and strengthening strategic cooperation with Ghana publishers.

The association’s delegation met with a delegation from the Ghana Publishers Association, the Ghana Book Development Council and the Ghana Library Association, where the two parties discussed ways to enhance cooperation between publishers in Africa and the Arab world.

Al-Koos stressed the association's keenness to achieve its goals that serve the cultural project of the UAE, stressing the association's endeavor to help Emirati publishers represent the UAE in regional and international cultural events.

He added, "Our participation in this event highlights the close relationship with the African publishing sector, which has witnessed a remarkable development, which makes our participation another step towards strengthening coordination and joint cooperation between the publishing markets in the country and the Republic of Ghana."

The delegation of the Emirates Publishers Association expressed its gratitude to the Ghana Publishers Association for providing this opportunity that helped showcase the experience of the book industry in the UAE within the activities of the Ghana International Book Fair 2021.
