‘El lenguaje que nos abraza’ (The language that embraces us) will be the motto of Spain's program as Guest of Honor Country at the Panama Book Fair 2024.
This was announced today by the Spanish ambassador to Panama, Guzmán Palacios, at the presentation of the agenda of activities prepared by the Ministry of Culture, with the collaboration of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E); the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, through the Embassy of Spain in Panama; and the Federation of Publishers' Guilds of Spain (FGEE).
