The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha achieved the Guinness World Record for the most languages used in a reading relay.
Over 150 participants of various nationalities, most of them dressed in traditional costumes, told the story of "The Little Prince" in 55 languages. The Third Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Qatar, Giselle Rubio Carballo, read a chapter of the book in Spanish.
The unique event takes place just a few days before the inauguration of the Qatar 2022 Football World Cup. It is a confirmation of the successful work of the local authorities in favor of dialogue between cultures, peace, friendship, cooperation, and solidarity.
The Cuban Embassy's action also contributes to the Cuban Culture Day celebration, to be held next October 20, 2022.
