President of the Vietnamese Writers Association Huu Thinh said that this is the first time the congress will see the attendance of all its 992 members across the country. It plans to pass its political report and choose its theme Solidarity-Democracy-Construction-Creativity.

All the contents of the congress have been openly discussed at 10 local congresses and the Executive Board of the Vietnamese Writers Association has so far received 6 speeches from its devoted members.

The congress will seek to improve the quality of Vietnamese writings by giving writers more chances to engage in the real aspects of modern life, attracting more attention to literary criticism and discovering and training new young writers.
