Rabat has been selected as the 2026 World Book Capital by UNESCO, positioning the city at the center of global cultural and educational dialogue. The program, led by commissioner Latifa Moftaqir, will focus on expanding reading initiatives, supporting the book industry, and increasing access to knowledge across communities.
This designation highlights Morocco’s growing role in cultural diplomacy and its commitment to promoting education and intellectual exchange. Rabat’s selection reflects a broader narrative: Africa’s rising influence in global cultural platforms. The initiative is expected to strengthen regional cooperation and position the continent as an active contributor to global knowledge systems.
