The congress, scheduled for December 9-10, will also discuss plans to preserve ancient scripts of ethnic minority groups that are at risk of oblivion and to make preparations for the building of a training centre for ethnic minority writers in the capital city.

Over the past five years, ethnic minority writers and poets have published many works about the unique life and folk literature of ethnic minority groups.

However, they have been urged to produce more works featuring the industrialisation and modernisation process in mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas.
