Germany is the guest of honour for the second consecutive year at the book fair. Ernst Peter Fischer is the German ambassador to the UAE.

As quoted by National News, Ernst Peter Fischer said, “ We are back with a bigger and better stand.” He continued, “We have been part of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair each year since 2008, so we are regular and happy guests and customers.”

“I think it is meaningful and important that Abu Dhabi is presenting itself as a center of literature and reading. From that flows ideas, discussions, and debate.”

Meanwhile, there is an eye-catching exhibition displayed at the event which is dedicated to the UAE Space Agency’s Mission to Mars. The exhibition includes a medium-sized replica of mars that also changes color.
