Vietnam requests the US to give objective assessments of the real religion and belief situation in Vietnam based on accurate and comprehensive information sources and soon remove Vietnam from the special watch list for religious freedom, Spokeswoman of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang said at the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on July 4.

The training course "Religion in contemporary society" was organized for lecturers and researchers interested in the field of religion, and officers from central and local departments.

Religions in Vietnam always accompany the nation in the cause of national construction and defense. Every year, thousands of religious and belief activities take place across the country.

Vietnamese religious communities have been requested to step up COVID-19 preventive measures as the epidemic spreads around the world.
