The purpose of the event was to increase interest in learning foreign languages and foreign literature, as well as popularize reading among library visitors. On this day, the Embassy of the Portuguese Republic, through the Instituto Diplomatico, solemnly handed over new books in Kazakh, Russian and Portuguese to the Portuguese literature corner. These publications reflect the culture, history, traditions and modern development of Portuguese-speaking countries. The collection has been replenished with 30 new copies, including historical, popular science, biographical books and children's literature provided by the Portuguese Parliament.

"These books will now be in the library's collection and will allow readers to immerse themselves in the vast world of literature of Portuguese-speaking countries, making it closer and more accessible. Portuguese is one of the five most widely spoken languages in the world. We sincerely hope that the works of such authors as Camoens, Vinicius de Moraes, Mia Couto, Luis Cardoso, Jose Luandino Vieira, Onjaki and Paulina Chisiana will please readers," said Jose Ataide Amaral, Charge d'affaires of the Portuguese Embassy.

The solemn event was attended by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Brazil Rubem Antonio Corre Barbosa, Charge d'affaires of Portugal Jose Ataide Amaral, Ambassador of Serbia Vladimir Jovicic, representatives of the embassies of India, Turkey, Hungary, as well as scientific and creative intelligentsia of Kazakhstan, students, undergraduates and library readers.

This day became an important stage in the cultural life of the library, contributing to the strengthening of cultural ties between countries and the expansion of readers' horizons.
