The three-day event, organized by the Hanoi People's Committee in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Communications, celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Capital’s Liberation and 25 years since UNESCO recognized Hanoi as a “City for Peace.”

The fair will feature exhibitions and displays centered on the theme, offering free access to books on economics, politics, culture, military, and diplomacy from the Hanoi Publishing House and other related publishers.

At the opening ceremony on September 27, Ha Minh Hai, Deputy Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, stated that the Book Fair is not only a cultural event but also a bridge of knowledge, where each book carries stories, ideas, and shared wisdom.

He added this year’s fair reaffirms the important role of books in modern society, especially amid Hanoi's strong development and international integration.

Ha Minh Hai emphasized that the enthusiastic participation of readers is crucial for the fair’s success and cultural identity, promoting the values of Thang Long - Hanoi. He envisions Hanoi as a “Capital of Books and Knowledge,” contributing to the city's goal of becoming a cultural hub and fostering sustainable development, as outlined in the Politburo's Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW.

The event emphasizes the importance of books in society, reflecting Vietnam's educational tradition and promoting the cultural values of Thang Long - Hanoi, contributing to the nation’s sustainable human resource development.

In addition to showcasing a variety of books and special promotions, publishers will host meaningful interaction programs to introduce new works that celebrate the cultural and historical heritage of Hanoi and Vietnam.

Notable events include discussions on the series "History of Vietnam in Pictures," as well as poetry readings and book launches featuring authors like Nguyen Quoc Vuong and Bang Son.

Over nine editions, the Hanoi Book Fair has become a cultural meeting point for publishers and book lovers, enhancing reading culture among local readers and international visitors.
