Baku, October 9, AZERTAC
Azerbaijan joined the 78th Frankfurt International Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026), which will run from October 7 to 11. Organised by the Ministry of Culture and the Azerbaijan Cultural Center in Berlin, a national pavilion has been set up at the fair venue.
As part of the fair, a panel discussion titled “Eurasian Book Markets” was held on October 8 on the Asia Stage. During the panel, participants exchanged views on the development prospects of the publishing industry across the Eurasian region, including Azerbaijan, the current state of the book market, and opportunities for international cooperation.
A business meeting was also held between representatives of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Culture and the leadership of NORLA (Norwegian Literature Abroad). The meeting focused on developing literary ties between Azerbaijan and Norway, opportunities for cooperation in translation and publishing, as well as Norway’s participation as Guest of Honour at the Baku International Book Fair.
During the first two days of the fair, B2B meetings with representatives of leading Azerbaijani publishing houses were also held at the Azerbaijani pavilion.
