More than 1,300 exhibitors from 85 countries, including Turkey as the "Guest of Honor," will participate in the 32nd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, which will kick off in the United Arab Emirates later this month. The fair will take place from May 22 to 28 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre under the theme "Endless Stories," offering visitors 500,000 book titles in various languages. Ali bin Tamim, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre, stated at a press conference on Wednesday, "Today we have reached the 32nd edition, which we are proud to say is not only the largest in the history of the fair but also the most capable of expressing the value of culture and knowledge in the developmental renaissance of the country." He expressed pride in having Turkey as the guest of honor because it has much to share with a substantial cultural program showcasing Turkish culture. The exhibition, covering an area of 40,000 square meters, includes over 2,000 programs and events with the participation of approximately 800 speakers from 38 nationalities.
