“The words “propose” or “ask for permission” have been replaced by the word “inform” of religious activities under the religious charter and law. The draft law also stipulates that religions are a legal entity, which is entitled to participate in areas such as publishing, education, healthcare, social protection, and charity,” Most Venerable Thich Duc Thien said.
Participants proposed supplementing the Party and State viewpoints on religious policies. They said religious work should strengthen the national great unity, uphold the country’s strength, and support national industrialization, modernization, and defense.
