Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day on April 21 is an important cultural event for book lovers and the wider community. It is an occasion to honour the value of books and affirm their position, role, and importance in social life; recognise those involved in collecting, writing, publishing, distributing, and preserving books; and raise the responsibility of authorities at all levels, sectors, and society as a whole in building and developing a reading culture.

Permanent Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Ha Trung Chien speaks at the meeting.

At the event, delegates discussed and made proposals to develop an organisation plan. The Day is expected to mobilise the participation of departments, sectors, mass organisations, schools, armed forces, and localities across the province.

A wide range of activities will be organised with the aim of honouring the value of books and reading, as well as promoting innovation, science, and technology, such as book exhibitions and introductions, the “House of Wisdom” space, digital transformation, STEM and robotics booths, book presentation contests, the “Ring the Golden Bell” competition, along with art performances and sports exchanges.
