The congress also selected 67 official delegates and 10 alternate delegates to attend the upcoming congress of the Gia Lai Literature and Arts Association for the 2025–2030 term.

Currently comprising 150 members, the Literature Sub-Association has in recent years strengthened its role as a professional hub, organizing seminars, literary exchanges, poetry and music evenings, creative field trips and workshops for young writers. These activities have helped sustain creative output and engagement among members.

Since October 2025, the relaunched Gia Lai Literary Magazine has resumed publication, serving as the association’s official platform and enabling members to publish their works. Many writers have also won high prizes at competitions organized by ministries and professional bodies.

Book publishing has remained active, with 21 members releasing new titles since the provincial merger. Authors include Ngo Thanh Van, Nguyen Dang Thuy Trang, Van Phi, Le Vi Thuy, Nguyen Thi Phung and Le Ba Duy.

At the congress, the sub-association proposed the admission of three new members, Nguyen Xuan Sang, Chu Thi Phuong Thao and Thai Duong Nuong, into the provincial Literature and Arts Association.
