Mr. Phan Ngoc Tho regretted to inform the final decision, but in light of COVID-19, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee decided to push back Hue Festival 2020 until next year. The province has assigned Hue Festival Center to send a letter of apology to sponsors, embassies, travel agencies, local people, and tourists for the postponement of the occasion and expressed their hope to welcome everyone in 2021.

This latest postponement marks the third time that the Hue Festival 2020 has been adjusted following the two previous scheduled dates of April 1 and August 26. The festival was expected to mainly showcase the quintessence of Vietnam, yet again, the event needs a safer date to take place amid escalating fears over the spread of COVID-19.

Children and the reading festival day

Compared to their peers living in Hue City and the lowlands, children in the mountainous and remote Nam Dong and A Luoi districts are at a significant disadvantage in terms of access to information technology, books, and age-appropriate publications. However, thanks to the efforts of the education sector, local authorities, and schools, the reading spaces for children in these places are increasingly being supplemented with a variety of books and periodicals, helping them have more "good friends" during their breaks or extracurricular activities.
