The Second International Culture Summit is scheduled to be held on Aug. 10-12, 2014 in Edinburgh, a top Scottish government official said on Tuesday.
"The second summit follows the success of the first event held in August 2012 and is particularly appropriate at a time when the eyes of the world are already focused on Scotland for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and other events of 2014," Scottish Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop told parliament.
The first summit was considered a success with 33 international delegations debating and discussing the role of culture as an international dialogue.
Hyslop said Scotland looked forward to welcoming cultural delegations and thinkers from all corners of the world to join in a dialogue and debate between policy makers and artists during next year's second etition of the summit.
