The Republic of Moldova will be the honorary guest of the 17th edition of the Bookfest International Book Fair, to be held this year from May 29 to June 2, at Romexpo.

The presence of the Republic of Moldova at Bookfest 2024 is a sign of the closeness and special relationship between the two countries, informs a release sent to AGERPRES.

„The invitation addressed to the Republic of Moldova came as a natural continuation of the excellent relations we share with colleagues across the Prut, including on the occasion of the six editions of Bookfest Chisinau already held there. But we also share many of the problems of the book market, starting from the limited audience and the lack of a decent broadcasting infrastructure. We hope that this Bookfest 2024 will be a chance for firm steps on a common path which we want as bright as possible,” said the president of the Romanian Editors’ Association, Grigore Arsene, quoted in the press release.

The presence of the Republic of Moldova as a guest of honor at Bookfest 2024 is ensured by the Government in Chisinau.
