International Book Fair

Thursday, May 2, 2024

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) kicked off its
participation at the 33rd edition of Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF) with a

dedicated pavilion to highlight its wide array of knowledge-oriented events and a
selection of publications in both English and Arabic. The participation aligns with the
MBRF’s commitment to supporting knowledge, creativity, and innovation, as well as

highlighting the importance of reading as a means of acquiring knowledge and
information.

In line with the event, His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan,

Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, visited the MBRF’s pavilion and discussed the
‘Global Knowledge Index’. During the visit, the MBRF offered him the book
‘Tolerance Among Virtues’, one of the publications of the Dubai International Program

for Writing (DIPW), which was approved for postgraduate students at the Mohammed
bin Zayed University for Humanities (MBZUH).

Highlighting the significance of MBRF’s participation in ADIBF 2024, His Excellency
Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, pointed out the Foundation’s contribution
towards advancing science, disseminating knowledge, promoting a culture of reading,

and nurturing literary and intellectual creativity.

“The MBRF’s participation in the event comes as part of its relentless efforts to
encourage sharing knowledge across Arab countries and provide a comprehensive

platform for book lovers and scholars to learn about current intellectual and literary
works and publications. The pavilion showcases a diverse range of publications
focusing on many fields. Furthermore, it will provide a venue for other events and

activities, including seminars, lectures, workshops, and discussions with renowned
Arab authors and thinkers,” His Excellency added.

The pavilion, located in Hall 10-D06, will further host a variety of events under the

‘KnowTalks’, a series jointly organized by the MBRF and the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) to underscore best global practices and experiences
in addressing environmental challenges, water crises, climate issues, and strategies for

promoting green investments.
