The Norwegian Guest of Honour Spring is Underway

Today, a press conference for German media was held at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Berlin. Here, the German press got an exclusive preview of the Norwegian Guest of Honour program for Leipziger Buchmesse, which features nearly 50 authors from Norway participating in approximately 80 events – under the motto “Traum in Frühling” (Dream of Spring).

It was also announced that Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit will officially open the Norwegian Guest of Honour program and the Norwegian stand in Leipzig on March 27, 2025. The Crown Princess will be accompanied by Minister of Culture and Equality, Lubna Jaffery.
