The dignitaries voiced
their delight at the achievements made by the province’s Party Committee,
authorities and people over the time.
They also spoke highly of
local authorities’ attention and efforts to facilitate religious activities in

Catholicism and Buddhism, will always comply with policies and regulations of
the Party and State, and promote solidarity, thereby contributing to the
province’s development.

refute wrong allegations of hostile forces aiming to separate the national
unity.
