Iran to publish books by ECO writers

Wed, 30 Dec 2009

Tehran's Amir Kabir Publications is to publish books written in the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) member countries.

According to ECO Cultural Institute (ECI) Director Hojjatollah Ayyoubi, a selected collection of books from Iran's neighboring countries will be published.

"We plan to publish the best books written in the region," Tehran Times quoted Ayyoubi as saying.

"ECI has established two bookshops in the Tajik cities of Khujand and Kulob, and is planning to send books to the Persian-speaking countries of Tajikistan and Afghanistan," he added.

"Persian-speaking countries are not highly developed in the book publishing industry and are very interested in gaining access to the large number of books published in Iran,” Ayyoubi said.

The ECI head described book exchange as an important cultural activity with national benefits for all sides.
