The National Literature, China's only national-level monthly magazine on literature for ethnic minorities, has published nearly 500 works written in the languages of Mongolian, Tibetan and Uyghur in the past 10 years, according to a symposium held Wednesday.

The three versions of the magazine, in Mongolian, Tibetan and Uyghur respectively, have each turned out 62 editions since they were established in 2009, according to the symposium held for their 10th founding anniversary.

Besides publishing works written in ethnic languages, the magazine has also published over 700 works translated into the above ethnic languages, including works written by several hundred Chinese writers and dozens of foreign writers, involving over 500 translators.

The magazine has also organized training sessions and symposiums for writers and translators working with the ethnic languages.
