00:00It's wonderful to be here with you today to celebrate this new edition of the Seoul International
00:27Book Fair to celebrate Sharjah as guest of honor.
00:32For over four decades, Sharjah has laid the foundation for a robust cultural scene centered
00:38on books and reading.
00:40We believe that books are not only a source of entertainment, but also play a crucial
00:46role in shaping the minds of individuals and societies.
00:51In Sharjah, we have made it our mission to build bridges and engage in cultural dialogue
00:56through books, art, films, poetry, and other cultural forms.
01:02And we always leave with a firm conviction that through book fairs, we can all promote
01:07peace, understanding, and respect in this world.
01:11Thank you again for your warm welcome and hospitality, and I wish you a successful and
01:16enjoyable book fair.
