The Sultanate of Oman concluded its important and successful participation as a special guest at the 39th Paris International Book Fair, which was held in Paris, France, from March 14 to 18, which highlighted Omani and Arab culture in general and placed it in the European and international attention, especially since the Paris International Book Fair is one of the largest cultural and cognitive events in the world.
- Capital of culture!
Talking about the positive returns of Omani participation, including the immediate returns in the future, the least visible, including the benefits and returns in the long term, reflected through the interaction of large and positive cultural community and the political community in Paris, which has been known as the capital of culture and the arts for centuries.
There is no doubt that this presence and the Omani presence clearly reflect two important things:
First, the depth of Omani culture and its proven strength through historical times and periods, and this is now being strengthened and added to the efforts of the new generations.
Second, this audience refers to what was accomplished during the reign of Sultan Qaboos bin Said and the attention and guidance he paid to the welfare of the Omani man through the umbrella of culture, science and knowledge, a journey that has made tangible and profound progress through the achievement of a qualitative leap in all levels of life and cultural awareness and civilization in the past decades from 1970 to today.
The talk about the participation of the Sultanate in the Paris International Book Fair goes beyond mere meaning and direct significance to paint a clearer picture of what the cultural contents and the specific transportations that the Sultanate live under the present of visual development mean. It is the witness and the holder of the culture, its elegance, its rooting and its revision, and the essence of global civilization today.
The talk about culture, science and knowledge itself comes next to the constant emphasis on the processes of enlightenment and the advancement of these aspects, so as to enhance creativity and innovation and other creative meanings that lead to dialogue and coexistence with the world today, but goes ambition to more than that; it is central to the industry of contemporary culture, and what the Paris experience reflects is an indication of enormous potential and wealth that can be used to reflect a bright human and civil experience.
