‘Official Opening of the Editions Le Printemps Book Fair 2011’

I was at the official launching of the 2011 Book Fair organized by ‘Editions Le Printemps’ in presence of eminent personalities. The International Book Fair 2011 is a platform for stakeholders in the book and edition industries, and I hope teachers, students and the public in general will take the opportunity of this Fair to reach out and communicate with major players in the field. This initiative of the ‘Editions Le Printemps’, is also a good example of public/private partnerships in support in our educational system. As part of their social responsibility, other institutions should come up with similar initiatives, thereby illustrating the importance of dissemination of knowledge at all levels through a diversity of channels. I am confident that this 6th Book Fair will have a wide publicity and will encourage students to read in an increasingly knowledge intensive, scientific and technological world of today. This event is also targeted towards the population at large, providing an exposure to more affordable reading materials in particular in areas of Science, Technology and Research. I urge you to seize this opportunity to learn more about the world of books and the electronic media in particular in areas of Science, Research and Technology. I wish the Book Fair 2011 all the success it deserves!
