"I express my hope, my conviction that Romania's presence, far from being formal, will be noted both qualitatively and quantitatively. Because, especially in the area of literature, there is an unprecedented synchronization of the Romanian literary environment with contemporary Western literature, thematic and valuable", declared Liviu Jicman, ICR president. The Romanian participation in the London Book Fair is organized by the National Book Center and the Romanian Cultural Institute in London, with the support of the Romanian Embassy in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Ministry of Culture, the Association of Romanian Publishers, Conway Hall and the Barbican Centre.
