Ramallah, 20 Rajab 1437/28 April 2016 (MINA) – Kuwait will be the guest of honor at the Palestinian International Book Fair that kicks off on May 7, Palestinian Minister of Culture Ehab Bseiso has said.
Kuwait’s participation will be official, and a host of intellectuals will also attend, the minister told reporters in a press conference at the Ministry of Culture in Ramallah on Wednesday
Bseiso pointed to Kuwait’s prominent role on the Arab cultural, Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) reported, quoting KUNA.
A significant dimension of the fair that runs as far as May 17, is that Arab intellectuals will come to Palestine “to be among us, in an obvious defiance of all policies to isolate the Palestinian people.”
