The 9th Hanoi Book Fair will be held from September 27 -29 under the theme "Hanoi: Capital of Culture and Heroes - City for Peace".

Numerous efforts have been made to encourage reading habit among young Vietnamese people, especially in the digital era when more entertainment forms are available and reading enjoyment declines.

Books are one of humanity’s oldest communications technologies, and this year’s Hanoi Book Fair seeks to highlight their role in the digital age with the theme “Books and Start-ups”.
