He asked the LDS Church’s Representative Committee in Vietnam to continue coordinating with competent Vietnamese agencies in encouraging the followers to participate in social activities, patriotic movements, as well as people-elected and fatherland front agencies.
The committee was urged to carry out joint programmes on environmental protection and climate change response, and materialise the Law on Belief and Religion which took effect on January 1, 2018.
For his part, Stevenson emphasised that the VFF has created favourable conditions for the church to promote the role of its followers in patriotic movements and campaigns launched by the VFF.
He promised that he will continue to encourage the church’s followers to take part in environmental protection and climate change combat, along with programmes providing clean water for people in remote areas and teaching English for the followers in Vietnam.
