The collaboration aims to provide Vietnamese readers with translations of books that embody humanistic values, books that have received global recognition and acceptance.
In Chile, "Papelucho" is a beloved classic in children's literature and is part of the Chilean primary education curriculum. It has been adapted into stage plays and comics. The author of "Papelucho" was honored with the Premio Nacional de Literatura (Chilean National Literature Award) in 1982. Subsequently, the character Papelucho was nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award by the International Council for Young People's Books in Switzerland. Today, "Papelucho" has been translated and is available in numerous countries worldwide.

Acknowledging Papelucho as an educational literary series appropriate for Vietnamese students, the Vietnam Education Publishing House is interested in collaborating to translate and publish the 12 books of the Papelucho series in Vietnamese.
At the signing ceremony, Nguyen Tien Thanh, Chairman and General Director of the Vietnam Education Publishing House, highlighted that this marks a new chapter in the collaboration between the two parties. It aims to promote and disseminate the distinctive aspects of Chilean culture and education in Vietnam and pave the way for future publishing ventures with Chilean counterparts.
The Publishing House is optimistic that, with the ongoing support of the Chilean Embassy, it will bring not only the Papelucho series but also a variety of high-quality translated books to Vietnamese children in the years ahead. Similarly, it hopes to introduce exceptional Vietnamese children's literature in Chile, thereby deepening the diplomatic ties between the two nations through cultural exchange.
