Sharjah: Sharjah will host the third Arab Publishers Conference (APAC) 2015, in November, just before the opening of the Sharjah International Book Fair, according to the Arab Publishers Association.

The emirate’s selection to host the largest gathering of publishing houses, literary agencies and publishing professionals in the Arab world underscores the leadership of Sharjah’s cultural project founded and nurtured by His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, over a period of four decades, during which Sharjah has been supporting the publishing industry in the UAE, Arab and Islamic worlds and beyond.
