For the first time this year, an entire hall has been dedicated to international exhibitors, emphasizing the increased importance china places on international context. The topic I would like to focus on today is how to market culture internationally which is exactly what the Frankford book fair has been doing ever since our establishment 60 years ago after the second world war .
