Vietnam, Laos step up cooperation in religious affairs
VOV.VN - Deputy head of the Government Committee for Religious Affairs Bui Thanh Ha has affirmed his committee's readiness to dispatch its senior officials to Laos to provide training courses on religious affairs.
At a meeting with President of the Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC) Central Committee Saysomphone Phomvihane in Hanoi on August 31, Ha said that the committee is revising and updating its teaching documents to improve efficiency.
