Church’s Episcopal Council on the occasion of the lunar New Year in
Hanoi on February 13.

He expressed hope that the VBS will continue to uphold the motto of “Religion-Nation-Socialism”, encouraging monks and nuns and followers nationwide to contribute more to the nation.
Most Venerable Thich Thanh Nhieu wished that the government will lead the country to fulfil the goals of wealthy people, a strong country and a fair, democratic and civilised society.
At a separate meeting with the Vietnam Catholic Church’s Episcopal Council Vice President, Archbishop Le Van Hong, Deputy PM Phuc said the Party and State recognised the great contributions that the Catholic community have made to the national construction and defence cause.
He reiterated that the Party and State always respect and ensure the people’s right to religious and belief freedom, and pursue the consistent policy to meet the legitimate rights and interests of religious followers.
