Georgian capital Tbilisi has joined UNESCO World Book Capital Network.

The representatives of the World Book Capital cities held a meeting in Wroclaw, Poland, attended by the deputy Tbilisi mayor Andria Basilaia.

After signing the memorandum, Basilaia addressed the attendees and thanked the organizers for the event.

For the record, the World Book Capital handoff from Tbilisi to Guadalajara was made in April this year.

Basilaia pledged Tbilisi City Hall to “actively continue promoting literacy through various means.”

Following Guadalajara and Accra, France’s Strasbourg will begin its tenure as UNESCO’s World Book Capital on April 23, 2024, as Accra concludes its year in the role.
