Measures to improve the efficiency of religious works in the remaining months of this year towards ensuring the implementation of Party and State policies in the field were discussed during a conference in Hanoi on July 28.
The event reviewed coordination between the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front with its local chapters and relevant agencies in the two first quarters of the year, which recorded positive results.
During the period, the popularisation of Party and State regulations and policies on religion and belief were intensified.
The agencies worked closely to look after community living conditions while reviewing proposals and meeting the demands of religious organisations and individuals.
Patriotic movements in religious communities were encouraged and the VFF teamed up with State agencies to resolve arising issues concerning religion as well as contributed its opinions to the draft Law on Religion and Belief.
The conference heard that religious dignitaries and followers felt the Party and State’s policy of respecting the freedom of religious beliefs was successfully implemented. Religious activities and the training and appointment of religious dignitaries received due attention.
However, the coordination also showed a number of limitations and shortcomings in sharing information and dealing with arising issues.
In the remaining months of the year, the VFF, its local chapters and central authorities will further enhance coordination to implement a Politburo project on promoting unity among religions in the country and renovating the VFF’s religious efforts.
They will also work together to enhance dialogue with religious communities and collect feedbacks, recommendations and opinions to timely report to the Party and State, while engaging in policy making process in order to promote the role of religious organisations in social activities.
The VFF and its member organisations signed a programme with the Vietnam Episcopal Council to promote patriotic movements and humanitarian activities in the community, especially in areas of high religious concentrations. They will also work together to protect human rights and prevent religion-related human rights abuses.
Vietnam is home to many religions and beliefs whose followers are working with a strong patriotic spirit.
The main religions in Vietnam include Buddhism with 6.8 million followers, Catholicism (5.7 million), Hoa Hao (1.4 million), Cao Dai (808,000), Protestantism (734,000), Islam (73,000) and Brahmanism (56,000).-VNA
