Việt Nam participates in Saint Petersburg Int’l Book Fair

MOSCOW Nhân Dân (People) newspaper has set up a stall exhibiting a wide range of books at the ongoing 19th Saint Petersburg International Book Fair in Russia.

On display at the Vietnamese stall are books on President Hồ Chí Minh, General Võ Nguyên Giáp, the Điện Biên Phủ Victory (May 7, 1954) and the Vietnamese culture and people, along with works by Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng.

This year’s fair features 250 stalls, representing the 225th birth anniversary of Aleksander Pushkin – the “Sun of World Poetry”, and celebrating the Year of the Family in Russia.

Saint Petersburg Mayor Alexander Beglov emphasised the role of books, affirming that the fair is a rendezvous for book-lovers.

Vyacheslav Kalganov, Deputy Chairman of the External Relations Committee of Saint Petersburg, expressed his delight about Vietnam’s participation, as well as his impression of the country's socio-economic development.

Nguyễn Quốc Hùng, director of the Russian-Vietnamese Cooperation Development Fund, said the translation of General Secretary Trong's books into Russian helps Russians understand more about Vietnam's guidelines and policies, while contributing to strengthening the strong friendship between the two countries.

The event will run until May 19. VNA/VNS
