(VOVWORLD) - Vietnam always respects and consistently implements a policy of ensuring citizens’ right to freedom of religion and belief and to follow or not follow a religion, guarantees equality and non-discrimination based on religion or belief, and protects operations of religious organisations in line with the law, the Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang has said.

During the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on Thursday, Hang said Vietnam acknowledges the US Secretary of State’s International Religious Freedom Report 2020, which mentions the country’s efforts in ensuring and promoting religion and belief.

She said the report, however, contains non-objective opinions based on incorrect information about the situation in Vietnam, adding that Vietnam's efforts and achievements in ensuring citizens’ right to freedom of religion and belief have been widely lauded by the international community.

Vietnam stands ready to engage in straightforward and open discussions with the US in a constructive spirit on issues where the two sides still have differences, to increase mutual understanding and contribute to the development of the bilateral comprehensive partnership, the spokeswoman said.
