In honor of World Book Day on April 23, the 3rd National Conference on Reading is scheduled to convene from April 23 to 25 in Kunming, in Southwest China's Yunnan province.
Under the theme "Building a Book-Loving Society, Embracing Modern Civilization", the conference aims to assess national reading policies since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012. It also seeks to exchange insights on advancing reading initiatives, as well as to inspire public involvement in reading, fostering a culture that values quality literature to propel modern civilization within society.
The event will encompass discussions exploring the interplay between reading and various societal dimensions, including urban development and ecological civilization. Additionally, it will feature engaging activities such as a book corridor and a public book fair, designed to promote the joys of reading.
