On December 10, 2019, a Book presentation ceremony from the National Library of Korea to the National Library of Viet Nam (NLV) under the “Window on Viet Nam” – a component of the “Window on Korea” project took place in Ha Noi.
Attending the ceremony were Ms. Park Hyejin– Director of Korean Cultural Center in Ha Noi, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dung – Deputy Directors of the NLV and managing officials of the library divisions, students of Korean studies – university of social sciences and humanities (Ha Noi National University).
With the experience of implementing major projects in receiving books, the NLV has been actively maintaining and expanding the exchange and cooperation relations with libraries and information centers at home and abroad to supplement and enrich the foreign language resources of the library. Since 2005, the “Window on Korea” project has been officially launched at the NLV. Over the past ten years, many books have been donated by the National Library of Korea to the NLV’s readers. So far, the total number of books received by the NLV has reached to over 9,000 items.
At the ceremony, representing the NLV, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Anh received nearly 100 titles from the “Window on Viet Nam” program. On behalf of the library, she expressed the deep thanks to the National Library of Korean’s colleagues, the leaders and staff of the Korean Cultural Center. It is hoped that the books added to the NLV foreign language collection will help scientists, researchers and thousands of students have the opportunity to learn more about the country and people of the Kimchi land. This is also an opportunity to improve the understanding about Korean culture, and strengthen the cooperative relations between Viet Nam and Korea in the field of library.
