Conference helps ASEAN-based publishers and industry partners share knowledge and experience

The Việt Nam Publishers Association (VPA) and the People’s Committee of HCM City will host the annual conference of the Executive Committee of the ASEAN Book Publishers Association (ABPA) and sidelines activities from September 14-19. The Việt Nam Publishers Association (VPA) is an organisation focused on the publishing industry's development and the promotion of reading culture. In 2005, the association teamed up with publishing representatives from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to establish the Southeast Asian Book Publishers Association (ASEAN Book Publishers Association - ABPA). In 2019, as part of the 6th Hà Nội International Book Fair, we hosted a conference titled "Publishing trends in ASEAN countries." Towards the end of 2021, the VPA assumed the position of Chairman of the Southeast Asian Publishers Association (ABPA) for the 2022-23 term.
