Finland has been invited to be the guest of honour at the 2014 Frankfurt Book Fair. The Director Jürgen Boos, representing the Frankfurt Book Fair, the Finnish Literature Society and the Ministry of Education signed the agreements on the project on Tuesday.

Minister of Culture and Sport in Finland, Stefan Wallin sees the situation as exceptional.

– Finland's status as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair is one of the spearhead projects of the Finnish Cultural Exports Promotion Programme. It is an opportunity for the Ministry of Education to cooperate with other ministries, especially with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Employment and the Economy.

– Because Germany is the most important importer of Finnish literature, it is natural to invest in growth there. Frankfurt Book Fair, the largest international event in the book industry, offers the best possible impulse for a wider breakthrough of Finnish literature abroad, Mr Wallin highlights.

The practical implementation of the project will be realized by FILI − Finnish Literature Exchange. The project will also have a supervising group, which consist of representatives from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Finnish Literature Society as well as publishers and authors.
