The exhibition and online book fair will be co-organised by the Ministry of Information and Communication’s Authority of Publication, Printing and Distribution and Authority of Foreign Information Service, as well as publishers and relevant agencies.
The exhibition will showcase books on the Party and State's guidelines and policies; those by late President Ho Chi Minh and other Party and State leaders; outstanding works and research on Vietnam's culture, arts, and literature; and recently released foreign-language publications.
Notably, domestic and foreign readers, especially overseas Vietnamese, can purchase books directly through the connection between the national digital platform vietnam.vn and the online book marketplace Books365.vn.
According to the Authority of Publication, Printing and Distribution, to encourage and develop the reading movement in the community, especially among the young, the MIC will collaborate with the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) and the Vietnam Publishers Association (VPA) to launch a reading day among youths at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) on April 19.
First held in 2022, the annual Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day is considered a festival for booklovers, helping to spread the value of books as well as reading culture in the community.
