During his tour of the Venezuelan stand, organized by the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture, the diplomat discovered an editorial offer that exceeds 200 titles from public, private and independent publishers in the country.

Maniglia ratified Venezuela's commitment to promoting the reading and dissemination of its authors at this meeting, which he described as “one of the most important cultural events in the world.”

He also highlighted the cultural value of Bogotá as the setting for the fair and its historical link with the Liberator Simon Bolivar, who resided in the city for part of his life.

The Venezuelan delegation included figures such as Luis Britto García, as well as Benito Yrady, Mirla Alcibiades, Rosanna Álvarez, Aminta Beleño and Neguel Machado, who presented their most recent works as part of the program.

In this edition of the FILBO, which takes place from April 21 to May 4 under the motto “To listen to us is to read to us”, authors and publishers from different countries participate, with India as the guest of honor and an agenda that exceeds 2,300 cultural and literary activities.
