(Baonghean.vn) - Recently, the Nghe An literary community welcomed the joy when writer Nguyen The Quang was honored to receive the ASEAN Literature Award - a prestigious award, awarded only once a year to writers from each member country of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Returning from the Kingdom of Thailand, writer Nguyen The Quang shared about this meaningful trip.

PV:Congratulations to writer Nguyen The Quang on this prestigious award. Could you share with our readers the memories of your delegation during your visit as special guests of the Thai Royal Family?

Writer Nguyen The Quang:It can be said that there are many memories of this trip. We were very warmly welcomed by the Thai Royal Family. The purpose of the award is clearly stated: "The SEA (Southeast Asian) Literature Award was established to honor writers of ASEAN countries in the past, present and future". This time, the King invited Keete Fox - an Italian-American-French writer and historian currently living in Paris to be the speaker of the award ceremony. The King also respectfully gave the right to Princess Sirivannavari Nariatana Rajakanya to present the award to the writers. The theme of the award is "Create your own story, help you travel through space and time to meet the people whose passion has created the world today". During the award ceremony, the Princess hoped that the writers would have great works "lighting up the face of regional literature" to integrate with the international community.
