Both sides compared notes on religious issues in their respective countries and the implementation of a cooperation memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in 2007 in Cambodia.
In his address at the reception, Mr Binh said Vietnam treasured all beliefs and religious culture is part of what creates the sense of national unity and feeds the people’s spiritual needs. This position is clearly stipulated in the 1992 Constitution (revised) in which, belief and religion are considered one of the people’s basic rights. All religions in Vietnam are equal before law. Using religious activities to incite violence and create divisions among the people within the nation as well as superstitious practices are strictly banned, stressed Mr Binh.
Mr. Min Khin urged the two sides to implement the MoU effectively to tighten their relations.
He reiterated that Cambodia always pays attention to people’s rights to freedom of belief and religion which are specified in its constitution, while adding that his country wants to tighten its cooperation with the Vietnam Government Committee for Religious Affairs.
