Annyeonghaseyo!
To celebrate and honour the unique cultural vision of the emirate, Sharjah is invited to be the Guest of Honour at the Seoul International Book Fair 2023 – The largest book and publishing trade show in South Korea!
Launched in 1954 and upgraded to the status of an international fair in 1995, the Seoul International Book Fair is one of the top book fairs in Asia and brings together publishers, distributors and industry experts from across the continent.
For South Korea, recognised globally for its advanced infrastructure and leading status in science and technology, the book fair is a platform to highlight its contributions to the publishing industry and promote the openness and multicultural values that are rooted in South Korean culture.
