They aimed to identify the shortcomings of the last edition and to enrich the 33rd exhibition, he noted.
Discussions and review sessions were held with the presence of Quranic experts and activists to that aim, he stated.
“We also had an important meeting with the officials of the Imam Khomeini (RA) Mosalla and the necessary agreements were made. The international section was specifically reviewed and meetings were held with the managers of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (about the international section).”
Referring to the role of government agencies in the exhibition, he said due to the importance of maximum presence of government and public agencies in the exhibition and presentation of their latest Quranic achievements, 40 government and public agencies were invited, and in a consultative meeting, the points of view of the relevant officials were discussed and reviewed.
