The Government’s Committee for Religious Affairs (GCRA) on Dec. 7 convened a conference reviewing religious work in 12 central coastal cities and provinces.

Pham Huy Tho, GCRA’s Deputy Head asked religious committees of the cities and provinces, from Thanh Hoa to Khanh Hoa, to closely work with agencies, departments and localities in information and communication works as well as law dissemination, creating favourable conditions for lawful regions activities.

Representatives of the religious committees said lawful religious activities had helped followers stabilize their lives and uphold the guideline of “good life, good region”.

The participants asked the government and the GCRA to issue new regulations regarding religion, helping religious organizations and followers improve knowledge about law and raise non-religious people’s awareness of religion./.
