Vice Chairman of the Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Hiep told the participants about the provincial socio-economic situation, as well as solving some issues raised by religious churches.

Vice Chairman Hiep acknowledged suggestions and petitions of religious dignitaries and affirmed that provincial authorities always pay due attention to religious churches and help them build or upgrade places of worship.

He highly valued contributions made by religious churches, which he regarded as very important in maintaining political stability and strengthening unity for a prosperous Binh Duong province.

Bishop Tran Dinh Tu from Phu Cuong D said the meeting helped him better understand the Party and State's policies, and learn more about the provincial economic situation so that the Catholic community could contribute more to their homeland’s development.

Venerable Thich Minh Thien from the provincial Buddhist church emphasised that the meeting was of great significance to promoting the solidarity among religious churches.
