The first yearbook on Vietnam’s records made its debut in HCM City on May 26 and will be published nationwide through the Fahasa distribution network as of May 27.

Apart from records in terms of culture, arts, economics, science, education, health care and sports, the first pages of the yearbook introduce natural records and feature outstanding individuals and figures in national history. In addition, the book also highlights records regarding religion, cuisine, family life, entertainment and charitable activities.

In the first publication, the yearbook entitled ”The United Nations Day of Vesak (UNVD) 2008” introduced Buddhist records such as the oldest Vietnamese pagoda and the highest Vietnamese Buddhist Tower.
