At the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Phan Tam stated that the Frankfurt Book Fair is a symbol of creativity, dialogue and cultural cooperation, reflecting the aspiration to bring Vietnamese books closer to global readers.
According to Deputy Minister Phan Tam, this year, more than 20 Vietnamese publishing houses and cultural organisations are participating in the fair, introducing over 1,200 titles across various areas – from literature, history, culture and children’s books to science and digital publishing. Nearly 100 delegates joined the event, expressing their shared aspiration to promote Vietnamese books to the global readership.
The total exhibition area of the Viet Nam Book Space is about 100 square metres, with stalls located in a favourable position.
Through the Frankfurt Book Fair, Viet Nam seeks to promote cooperation in co-publishing, translation and copyright exchange, while expanding investment in digital publishing, e-books, audiobooks and international copyright platforms, ensuring that Vietnamese stories reach readers around the world more quickly and conveniently, positioning Viet Nam as a creative, dynamic and reliable partner in the global publishing community.
At the event, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Phan Tam and Claudia Kaiser, Vice President of the Frankfurt Book Fair, performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The delegates witnessed the official declaration opening the Viet Nam Book Space.
On the afternoon of October 15, the Vietnamese delegation held a working session with the Consulate General of Viet Nam in Frankfurt. During the meeting, the delegation presented books to the Consulate and the Vietnamese community in Frankfurt.
