The signing ceremony was attended by His Excellency Hussein Ibrahim Al Hammadi, UAE Ambassador to the People's Republic of China; Mubarak Al Nakhhi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture; Khalid Al Shahi, Deputy Head of the UAE Mission to China; a number of Arab ambassadors accredited to China; and a distinguished gathering of thinkers, intellectuals, and culture enthusiasts.
His Excellency Dr. Jamal Al Suwaidi expressed his gratitude to the organisers and attendees, praising the quality of the arrangements and the warmth of the welcome. He also commended the Beijing International Book Fair and the vitality of China's publishing industry, particularly in the fields of technology and artificial intelligence.
He said the Beijing International Book Fair is one of the largest book fairs in Asia and the world, and represents China's main gateway to engage with the international community. He described relations between the United Arab Emirates and Beijing as strong, characterised by strategic partnership and significant growth in the cultural sphere.
