“Our big book forum attracts more and more guests and visitors every year. On the first day alone more than 11,000 people attended the forum at the exhibition center on Pobediteley Avenue. This is an unprecedented figure,” Belarus’ First Deputy Information Minister Andrei Kuntsevich said at the opening ceremony.
The Information Ministry addressed special words of gratitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus. Together with partners and with the active participation of diplomatic missions, the International Quarter project has been running for many years already.
“This year the forum displays books from 21 countries. Over the years the Minsk Book Forum has been attended by writers and book publishers from more than 60 countries, which, of course, makes our exhibition a notable event both in Belarus and abroad,” Andrei Kuntsevich said.
Guests are always welcome in Belarus, and especially guests who come with books, the first deputy minister added.
