To help foster a stronger reading culture and support more effective foreign-language learning among Vietnamese users, Waka, one of Viet Nam’s leading e-book platforms, has officially launched its new feature: Parallel Reading–Translation for English-language books.

The Ha Noi Department of Culture and Sports opened the 10th Ha Noi Book Fair 2025 themed “Thang Long – Ha Noi – Aspiring to rise” in the Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian area on October 3 to mark the 71st anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2025)

Viet Nam’s publishing industry is experiencing strong growth in e‑books, which are gradually becoming a new trend with notable appeal and influence on the reading culture.

A reading space for all, a place to pause and admire works of art, or an open-air stage by the riverside for music lovers, all have become an ideal cultural rendezvous, rich with Hue’s distinctive character, leaving lasting impressions on both residents and visitors.
