Books Provided to 63 Cities, Provinces

Around 24,500 copies of assorted books will be provided for communes, wards and towns in 63 cities and provinces nationwide throughout this year. This was announced at a conference held in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday by the Party Central Committee's Commission for Communication and Education and the National Political Publishing House - the Truth. The project on providing books was piloted in 16 cities and provinces in 2009, supplying 4,000 communes and towns with approximately 16,000 books on education, political theory, law and management and the 'study and pursuit of Ho Chi Minh's moral example' campaign, as well as many books specifically for people from ethnic minorities. The project has helped contribute to meet the need for studying and improving law and management skills for officials and people in local areas. (www.nhandan.org.vn Mar 31)
