The fair, to be held at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre, will kick off on March 11 and will last until March 16.

Al Qubaisi said, "The Book Fair is only part of the plan to develop the book industry in Abu Dhabi and making books part of the daily lives of people here."

He said there would be many firsts at the event.
