The embassy of Spain announced on Wednesday the country’s participation in the 52nd edition of the Cairo International Book Fair, which kicks off on June 30 at the International Exhibitions Center in New Cairo. The Ambassador of Spain in Egypt, Ramon Gil Casares, will attend the inauguration of the Book Fair. The Spanish language is increasingly present in the Egyptian public universities, as well as private. Its teaching is supported by the Instituto Cervantes of Cairo and Alexandria, which plays a fundamental role in the spreading of Spanish language in Egypt. The book fair is free to attend, and will run from June 30 to July 15.
