“A unique aspect of the international section is the formation of ‘Quranic diplomacy’. This involves Quranic institutions from both the host country and abroad signing a memorandum of understanding to exchange ideas and collaborate in various fields,” said Seyyed Mustafa Hosseini Neishaburi on Sunday.

For instance, the Indonesian and Malaysian pavilions have already signed such agreements with two Iranian institutions, he said. “This shows our serious commitment to fostering Quranic diplomacy during the international section of the Quran exhibition.”

The international sector of the exhibition has seen a significant growth, with the number of participating countries rising from six to twenty, Neishaburi added.

This has brought a rich diversity of Quranic art from foreign institutes, with the creators themselves present to introduce their work to the visitors, he noted.

In the heart of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla, the 31st International Holy Quran Fair commenced on March 20. This spiritual and cultural event, coinciding with the Nowruz holidays, offers a unique journey for its visitors.

Operating daily from 5:00 PM to 00:30 AM local time, the exhibition will continue to welcome enthusiasts until April 2. A notable feature of the fair is its family-friendly ambiance, ensuring a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages.

In a bid to foster a sense of community and shared experience during this blessed month, the fair has organized Iftar tables.

The fair showcases a variety of Quranic institutions and governmental bodies, along with international participants from 25 countries. It also underscores the issues of Gaza and Palestine, highlighting the role of the Quran in inspiring resistance.

With a focus on familiarizing people with Quranic concepts, the fair utilizes artistic, cultural, and theatrical mediums. Special emphasis is placed on engaging children and teenagers. The fair also features sections dedicated to artificial intelligence, Nahj al-Balaghah, Quranic research and consultation, Quran translation, and easy Quran memorization, offering a comprehensive experience for all attendees.
