The organisation of Vietnam Book Day reflects Vietnam’s passion for culture and launches a nationwide reading movement, according to Minister of Information and Communications Truong Minh Tuan.

This year’s event is held at a larger scale than previous years, with nearly 20 events, including the introduction of the book “Industry 4.0, revolution of convergence and saving”, talks on “Books – culture, development and integration” and “picture book markets in Vietnam and South Korea”, and other activities such as games, painting contests, and lucky draw.
As part of activities for the launch of the 5th Vietnam Book Day 2018, a literature festival was held at Thong Nhat Park in Hanoi, from April 18 - 24. The festival features over 100 pavilions of nearly 80 publishers nationwide, showcasing 50,000 book titles of various genres. Exchanges between authors and readers and an introduction of popular books are among the highlights of the festival.
