At the meeting, Deputy Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Popularisation and Education Vu Ngoc Hoang highlighted that the conference is an event of peace, contributing to spreading human values from many countries and continents in the world.

Mr. Hoang underscored that literature has played an important role in traditional Vietnamese culture and customs, stressing that Vietnamese literary works should be promoted more proactively.

The conference, themed ‘Vietnamese literature: a brilliant symbol of people’s desire for independence, freedom and happiness’, remains one of the three large literary events taking place in early March presenting opportunities for Vietnamese writers to exchange and learn from one another to frame Vietnamese literature in a new context.
 
In addition, the conference aims to introduce Vietnamese literature to international friends with the intent to join with other countries to build a peaceful culture where noble values are treasured through literary activities.

The event also serves as a forum for Vietnamese publishers to seek cooperation and sign agreements with foreign partners./.
