Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Information and Communications held in Hanoi on November 29 a ceremony to launch an e-book platform with domain names of sachdientu.vn and ebook.gov.vn, aiming to provide essential information for people in efforts to reduce information poverty.
The establishment of the platform is part of the National Target Programme for Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021–2025 programme.
It is expected that the platform will help people, particularly the poor, easily access government policies and enhance their awareness and skills in applying knowledge to daily life and production.
Speaking at the launch, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Bui Hoang Phuong said that the ministry tasked the Information and Communications Publishing House with collaborating with the departments of Publishing, Printing and Distribution, and Journalism to develop and operate the platform.
He expressed his hope that the platform will create an ecosystem, serving as a foundation for publishing and distributing e-books, providing shared content and journalistic information for various programmes and projects led by the ministry.
The ministry is committed to supporting other ministries, sectors, and localities in the national digital transformation process, particularly in collaboration with publishing units, he emphasised.
Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Information and Communications Publishing House Tran Chi Dat said the platform has offered 202 e-books including multimedia books, audiobooks, and common e-books and 3,485 e-articles in various forms such as infographic, mega, and visual stories./.
