For the second year in a row NORLA is taking part with a joint Nordic stand at the Beijing book fair, in collaboration with our sister organizations from Sweden and Denmark. You will find us at stand no. E2.H28.
Please contact us if you would like to schedule a meeting.
You may find our selection of Norwegian titles in our Chinese (and English) information material here.
