The Kingdom's Commission for Literature, Publishing and Translation has launched its Saudi cultural exhibition in Paris, which will run for a fortnight until 10 November and will be attended by entities and organisations affiliated to the Ministry of Culture.
The main aim of the exhibition is to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, by encouraging intellectual participation and strengthening the presence of Saudi creatives on the local and global scene.
Conferences, round tables, short film screenings... there's no lack of activities! The themes covered range from Saudi literature to poetry. Another round table will look at King Salmane's Charter for Architecture and Town Planning.
The French publishing house Assouline will be launching the book "Makkah: The Holy City of Islam" by Meraj Nawab Mirza, historian and geographer at Umm Al-Qura University. The book includes photos by French photographer Laziz Hamani.
