Hanoi to host seminar on French literature
VOV.VN - A seminar on French literature is scheduled to take place on April 25 at the National Library of Vietnam in Hanoi as part of activities to mark the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-France diplomacy (1973-2023).
Dr. Tran Van Cong of Hanoi University and Dr. Tran Le Bao Chau of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education will deliver speeches at the event.
The seminar, jointly organised by the National Library of Vietnam and the the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF) will introduce the history of French literature as well as the International Francophonie's Five Continents Award.
The award has been part of the OIF’s project since 2001 and it aims to honour talents in literary who reflect cultural diversity through French literary works across five continents.
The purpose of the event is to introduce French literature in the nation while promoting the French book space which saw co-operation between the National Library of Vietnam and the OIF in the 2019 to 2022 period.
The function will get underway during the Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day 2023 taking place from March 16 to April 30 at the National Library of Vietnam.
