RIYADH: Deputy Foreign Minster Prince Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, who is also member of the board of directors of the King Abdul Aziz Public Library launched on Saturday a portal for the translated books on the sidelines of the function to announce the winners of the fifth King Abdullah International Prize for Translation.
