AKP Phnom Penh, November 12, 2025 --

The 12th Cambodia Book Fair will take place from Dec. 11 to 14, 2025, at the Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre in Phnom Penh.

The annual event aims to promote the publication of a wide range of books, both new and old, while encouraging Cambodians, especially children and youth, to develop a reading habit and appreciate the importance of reading for personal and national development.

The fair also seeks to support Cambodian writers and illustrators and inspire the younger generation to pursue writing and creativity.

Visitors can freely attend the event, which will feature a wide selection of books covering topics from history and literature to personal development, in both Khmer and foreign languages.

Last year’s Cambodia Book Fair, held from Dec. 19 to 22 under the theme “A Reader, a Life-long Learner,” attracted around 160,000 visitors.
