Iran’s Deputy Culture Minister for Cultural Affairs and the chairman of the 35th Tehran International Book Fair Yaser Ahmadvand stated that 50,000 foreign book titles are offered by 60 foreign publishers in this year’s book fair.

The number of titles has increased compared to last year which was 45,000, he said.

Ahmadvand added that 20 special guests are also set to attend this section, hoping that this will be the beginning of the relationship between Iranian and global publishers.

Tehran International Book Fair is staged in Tehran in May on an annual basis. The first edition of the international cultural event was held in 1988 with 16 thousand titles of books on show. The cultural event has turned into a landmark, momentous book fair in the Middle East and Asia after 34 editions in a row.

Millions of visitors visit the fair every year, including thousands of university students, scholars, and their families. The event currently serves as the most significant cultural event in Iran.

The 35th Tehran International Book Fair has been scheduled to take place from May 8th to May 18th, 2024, at the Grand Mosalla mosque of Tehran.
