VOV.VN - The US Department of State released last month its 2020 International Religious Freedom Report which stated that some religious groups in Vietnam are not recognized by the State and are bothered, intervened, or restricted by local authorities.

VOV.VN - Taking unfair advantage of religion to further political activities, boosting those aiming to overthrow the Government, and actions which threaten unity should not be tolerated by any country, not just in Vietnam.

VOV.VN - Despite its acknowledgement, the United States’ 2021 annual report on religious freedom is yet to assess the situation in Vietnam in an objective manner, said Doan Khac Viet, deputy spokesperson for the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
