According to Hoang Van Chung from the Institute for Religious Studies, to avoid disagreements among people of different religions, it is necessary to generate mutual understanding and respect between them, as well as with secular groups. Improved education is required to improve this, he said.
He also declared that extremism must first be tackled with non-violent solutions, and called on safe locations to be made available to religious groups holding talks.
