HCM City (VNS/VNA) - The annual Ho Chi Minh City Tet (Lunar New Year) Book Fair will be held from January 22-28 (or the 28th day of last lunar month to the fourth day of the first lunar month of the new year) in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.

Tu Luong, deputy director of the city’s Department of Information and Communications and head of the organising board, said: “This year’s book fair has the theme of Dieu Ky Dieu Tu Sach (Magical Things in Books) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event, which has been one of HCM City’s must-visit attractions during the Tet holiday.”

The fair will display around 65,000 book titles from four local major publishers and book distributors, including the HCM City Book Distribution Corporation, Phan Thi, Phuong Nam Books and Thai Ha Books.

Most of the books will feature politics, history and cultural topics to mark the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

A kids’ zone called “The Gioi Ky Dieu Cua Em” (My Magical World) will feature children’s books and traditional games.

The event’s highlight will be an exhibition Sai Gon – Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh Trong Cach Mang Giai Phong Dan Toc (1930-1975) (Sai Gon – HCM City during the Revolution to Liberate the Country), organised by the State Records and Archives Department of Vietnam.

Dang Thanh Tung, head of the department, said: “The exhibition will be an opportunity for the people and visitors in HCM City to approach first-hand documents on the Communist Party’s leadership role in the resistance war and in the process of nation building, and different periods of HCM City’s history.”

The exhibition will showcase more than 300 photos and documents preserved by the National Archives of Vietnam, the National Archives of France, Vietnam News Agency, and museums nationwide.

The photos and documents depict soldiers and residents in HCM City during the resistance war from 1930-1975.

The Tre (Youth) Newspapers will host an exhibition showcasing photos and documents about the oil rig safeguarding post No1 (DK1) on the Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands established 30 years ago, as well as the life of soldiers who are on duty at the rig.

A replica of DK1 rig will be set up to introduce the visitors a closer look and understanding of the rig, which is considered a “bulwark on the sea”.

A photo exhibition on the achievements of the Communist Party of HCM City in the 2016-2020 period and the city’s process in building a "smart city" will also be organised.

The HCM City Journalists Association will display more than 100 special publications from the city’s major newspapers and magazines including Tre (Youth), Thanh Nien (Young People) and Sai Gon Giai Phong (Liberated Sai Gon) at the fair.

In addition, there will be several talks between authors and cultural experts and visitors during the event.

Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Cinema Promotion and Development Association and Director of DANAFF IV, said the Politburo's Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, and Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW on the development of Vietnamese culture have created a solid foundation for advancing cultural industries and a creative economic sector, and strengthening IP protection, opening up new opportunities for Vietnam's film sector.

Titled "The Last Bullet," the film follows the remarkable journey of the Olympic shooting champion, highlighting the perseverance, discipline, coach-athlete bond and personal sacrifices behind his historic achievement.

The photo exhibition featured vivid images of Vietnam's majestic natural scenery, rich cultural heritage, distinctive customs and centuries-old traditional craft villages.

The festival conveyed a meaningful message on safeguarding and promoting ethnic cultural identities to both domestic and international audiences. It helped raise public awareness and community responsibility while creating new momentum for tourism development, cultural industries and traditional crafts closely associated with the lives of Cham people in the new era.

Jointly organised by the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, the Guangxi Arts University of China and the Lijiang School of Painting of Guangxi, the exhibition features more than 90 selected paintings which cover a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, flowers, birds and portraits.

Held from June 26 to 28 around West Lake, the festival featured a vibrant programme of cultural performances, exhibitions, hands-on experiences and tourism promotion activities, helping showcase Hanoi as a safe, friendly and culturally rich destination.

After three editions under the theme "Bridging Asia", DANAFF IV has adopted the new theme "Bridging Asia to the World", reflecting its ambition to connect Vietnamese cinema more closely with regional and global film industries.

This year’s race route once again left a strong impression as participants passed through some of Ly Son’s most iconic landscapes, including windswept coastal roads, dramatic volcanic rock formations and distinctive green garlic fields.

The two teams were selected by the the jury of DIFF 2026 after the qualifying rounds, based on criteria including concept and theme, creativity, pyrotechnic effects, synchronisation between music and fireworks, overall performance quality, and audience impact.

Centred on presenting a Vietnam that is youthful and dynamic while remaining deeply rooted in cultural identity, the festival offered a diverse programme combining exhibitions, cultural experiences, cuisine, performing arts and film, contributing to the promotion of Vietnam’s image and people to Czech and international audiences.

Xam singing, a folk art form with a history of more than 700 years, is not only a distinctive form of performance but also a living archive of Vietnamese cultural memory, reflecting everyday life, emotions, and aspirations across generations.

Themed "Vision," the two teams brought the festival's qualifying round to a spectacular close with performances that combined artistic storytelling, synchronised music and cutting-edge pyrotechnic techniques.

The pagoda preserves 896 woodblocks, including 26 sets of Buddhist texts and several unidentified pieces.

With its larger scale and broader international participation, Sports Festival 2026 is expected to become one of Vietnam's standout sporting events this summer while enriching community activities and supporting tourism during the peak travel season.

A series of activities have been held in Montreuil city from June 26-28 to mark the 115th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's departure for a path to national liberation (June 5) and the 80th anniversary of his 1946 state visit to France as a guest of the French Government.

Modern families must do more than nurture compassion. They should also raise citizens equipped with digital skills, an innovative mindset, legal awareness and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Policies on ethnic affairs and culture must be people-centred, ensuring that ethnic minority communities can participate in, contribute to and benefit from the country's development. Supporting ethnic minorities, including the Cham people, is not only a political responsibility but also a humanitarian commitment, said Vice State President Vo Thi Anh Xuan.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel always considers Vietnamese in Israel an inseparable part of the nation and would continue to assist them in their study, work and daily lives.
