The Ministry of Culture organised has a seminar titled "sustainability in the cultural sector, an overview of the experience of supporting cultural diversity in Qatar", within the framework of Qatar's participation in the International Book Fair of Algiers as a guest of honour.
During the seminar, Director of the Department of Culture and Arts at the Ministry of Culture, Maryam Yassin al-Hammadi, discussed Qatar's experience in cultural sustainability, affirming that culture garners a significant interest from the wise leadership of the State to achieve the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Al-Hammadi said the Ministry of Culture has used the opportunity of its participation as a guest of honour to help the public internalise Qatari culture and highlight Qatar's diligent efforts to prioritise the preservation of both tangible and intangible heritage, as well as how to mobilise material and human resources to achieve this.
Qatar has set a vision to be a pioneering and advanced country for generations to come, especially in the cultural realm, said al-Hammadi, highlighting the nation's past, present, and future, while outlining the Qatari policies and plans to achieve this objective.
She emphasised that the ministry intends to deepen cultural relationship between Qatar and Algeria through imparting the Qatari culture to the people of Algeria via direct interaction with the public.
Cultural studies researcher at the Culture and Arts Department of the Ministry of Culture, al-Maha al-Ali, said her lecture focused on the notion of culture and cultural diversity of Qatar, along with the State's efforts to reinforce this co-operation, the effective role Qatar performs in Unesco, the ministry's role in consolidating the culture through cultural weeks and diversity events.
The ministry's pavilion at the fair received a record turnout from visitors who reviewed the most prominent literal and intellectual genres of a contingent of writers and innovators in Qatar.
