Vietnam Dismisses US Report On Religious Situation

Spokesman, Le Dzung

Vietnam has rejected the US’s 2007 religion report, saying it is inaccurate and lacks objectivity despite acknowledging the country’s positive development.

The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Le Dzung, told reporters Monday that Vietnam pursued an "unswerving policy to respect and ensure citizens' rights to freedom of worship, religion and non-religion".

These rights were enshrined in the Constitution and other laws, including the Ordinance on Belief and Religions, he said.

"In practice, religions in Vietnam have received the government's attention and favorable conditions. Followers and clerics of different religions are allowed to exercise their beliefs in the normal way.”

Dung highlighted the burgeoning relations between Vietnam and the US and an increased mutual understanding on issues of common interests, including religion.

"Although the annual report prepared by the US Department of State contains some assessments lacking objectivity and accuracy, it has recognized the real and positive developments in religion in Vietnam," he said.
