Cuba prepares its book fair with Colombia as guest of honor. The organization of the next International Book Fair, with Colombia as the guest country of honor, is today the priority of the Cuban Book Institute in this 2023 that has just begun. Scheduled from February 9 to 19, the event that will take place again under the slogan Read to grow, has as its main venue the Morro-Cabaña Military Historical Park and Old Havana, and is dedicated to Colombia as the guest of honor country. According to the ambassador of the South American nation in Cuba, José Noé Ríos, receiving the honor at the 31st edition of the cultural event with the highest public attendance on the Caribbean island constitutes a gesture of reaffirmation of the relations of friendship and cooperation cultivated throughout of the years. ‘It is an excellent opportunity to strengthen the ties of friendship that already exist between the two countries and that have been built by men and women of the arts and culture, such as our great writer Gabriel García Márquez,’ he said. It will also be the moment to continue building the peace project for Colombia in which Cuba has played a fundamental role as mediator, added Ríos.
