Overview of the conference.

The conference also pointed out the shortcomings and limitations: the coordination between agencies inside and outside the publishing, printing and distribution industry is not tight. Publishing, printing and distribution brands have not been created strong enough to reach out and dominate the market in the region and the whole country. The quality of publications in some areas has not met the requirements; pirated books and poor quality books are still circulating in the market. The distribution network is unevenly distributed, mainly concentrated in urban and town areas; most published publications have not reached rural, mountainous, remote and isolated areas.

Concluding the Conference and orienting the work of publishing, printing and distribution in the coming time, comrade Tran Quoc Khanh, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, emphasized that publishing, printing and distribution units need to invest in improving the overall quality of publications, ensuring the ideological, scientific, educational and cultural qualities and diversity and attractiveness of publications; focusing on books and publications on Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought; publications serving Party congresses at all levels; attaching importance to editing, publishing and distributing books on the struggle to criticize wrong and reactionary viewpoints, and combating negativity; strengthening state management in the field of publishing, printing and distribution; directing units to coordinate well in organizing activities in response to Vietnam Book Day (April 21) in the coming time.
