继2025年里约热内卢之后,我荣幸地宣布拉巴特为2026年‘世界图书之都’。作为文化交汇之城,书籍在此传递知识与多样化艺术形式,当地不断发展的图书产业也在推动教育进步方面发挥着关键作用。这些行动与教科文组织的使命相呼应。
拉巴特拥有54家出版社、非洲第3大国际图书和出版博览会以及数量不断增长的书店,图书产业不仅是该市创意经济的重要组成部分,而且处于知识民主化的前沿。
教科文组织和世界图书之都咨询委员会认可拉巴特对文学发展的明确承诺,及其通过阅读和扫盲增强妇女和青年能力的多项举措。这些努力在相关服务匮乏的社区尤显珍贵。
作为2026年世界图书之都,拉巴特将推出一系列措施,通过增加图书获取渠道和支持当地出版业来促进可持续经济增长和保障社会福利。此外,该市将着力实施重点项目,全面提升市民的识字水平。
为期一年的庆祝活动将于2026年4月23日“世界图书和版权日”开始。

世界图书和版权日是为促进享受书籍和阅读而设立。每年4月23日,全世界都会举行庆祝活动,以彰显书籍的力量,它是贯通过去和未来的纽带,也是连接世代与文化的桥梁。
在世界文学界,4月23日是一个颇具象征意义的日期,数位著名作家如莎士比亚、塞万提斯、德拉维加在这一天逝世。1995年在巴黎举行的教科文组织大会确定世界图书和版权日时,这个日子成为自然的选择。我们在这一天在世界范围表达对书籍及其作者的敬意,鼓励大家阅读。

Following Rio de Janeiro in 2025, I am pleased to announce the designation of Rabat as World Book Capital for 2026. Rabat is a cultural crossroads where books help transmit knowledge and the arts in all their diversity. The growing local book industry is also playing a crucial role in advancing education. These actions resonate with UNESCO's mandate.
With 54 publishing houses, the third largest international book and publishing fair in Africa and a growing number of bookstores, Rabat’s book industry is not only a vital part of the city’s creative economy but also at the forefront of democratizing knowledge.
UNESCO and the World Book Capital Advisory Committee have recognized Rabat for its clear commitment to literary development, the empowerment of women and youth through reading and the fight against illiteracy, especially among underserved communities.
As World Book Capital for 2026, Rabat will roll out a series of initiatives with the aim of fostering sustainable economic growth and social benefits by enhancing access to books and supporting the local publishing industry. In particular, the city will launch a major initiative to reinforce literacy of all its citizens.
The year of celebrations will start on 23 April 2026, on World Book and Copyright Day.

World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures.
23 April is a symbolic date in world literature. It is the date on which several prominent authors, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. This date was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone to access books.
