The signing ceremony marked a milestone in the cooperative relations between Alpha Books and Kyowon and a bright prospect for enhanced cooperation between Vietnam and the RoK.
Nguyen Canh Binh, Alphabooks Director said Kyowon is the RoK’s largest children’s publishing house, whose books have nurtured the hearts of children for generations, equipping them with necessary knowledge and skills to become good citizens.
He expressed his wish to bring valuable and modern books with rich knowledge and life skills to Vietnamese children. Jeff Mah, International Rights Manager of Kyowon in turn provided an overview of the Vietnam publication market, introducing its goals when approaching the market, and shared experiences in publishing children’s books.
Kyowon is among top 50 children's book publishers in the world selected by French magazine Livres Hebdo and the US Publishing Weekly.
Last year, Alpha Books became the first publisher to exclusively exploit Kyowon’s education and children's books in Vietnam.
