"Vietnam follows a consistent policy of respecting its citizens' freedoms of belief and of religion. These freedoms are inscribed in the nation's Constitution and safeguarded in practice. The fact that religions are growing robustly in Vietnam and Vietnamese people are leading an enriched religious life shows vivid evidences of religious freedom in the country. However, the U.S. State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2009 still includes biased assessments which are based on misleading information about the situation in Vietnam."
