In Vietnam, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are constitutionally guaranteed rights and are further institutionalised through an increasingly comprehensive legal system. Article 25 of the 2013 Constitution affirms that: “Citizens shall enjoy the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, access to information, assembly, association, and demonstration. The exercise of these rights is prescribed by law”

In Vietnam, “respect for freedom of belief and religion” represents a consistent policy of our Party and State; it is guaranteed by a legal system and reflected in the people’s diverse, harmonious belief and religion life. However, the issue of religion has always been at the forefront of hostile force’s “peaceful evolution” strategy. Taking advantage of the sensitivity of belief and religion in the people’s mental life, hostile forces have spread many wrong arguments

The rights of ethnic minorities in Vietnam have always been guaranteed and protected right from the Party’s lines and the State’s laws and policies as well as in practice. However, hostile and reactionary forces have taken full advantage of social platforms to distort the rights of ethnic minorities in our country.

Press freedom is one of the fundamental human rights that Vietnam has committed to and seriously implemented in accordance with the general principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Practice has proven that, since joining the ICCPR Convention in 1982, Vietnam has always strived to synchronously implement policies and solutions to ensure civil and political rights for citizens and has obtained many important and comprehensive achievements on all fronts.

Rejecting the wrong perspectives that “The August Revolution in 1945 fails to bring about real democracy and freedom for the people”
Sunday, September 17, 2023, 22:24 (GMT+7)
The verifications from the historical witnesses and the reality of freedom in Vietnam have once again confirmed that the August Revolution in 1945 brought the real freedom for the people. The democracy and freedom have connected with the national independence and been the inevitable results of the national independence. It has definitely not a fake freedom. Presently, those values have been continuously shining in the flow of history of the nation and era. Neither any evil plots nor forces could deny the values of independence and freedom that the August Revolution in 1945 brought for the country and people of Vietnam.

Instead of removing the CPV’s leadership, it is necessary to affirm and strengthen that leadership in practice as the key to democracy in our country. An abandonment of the CPV’s leadership and ruling role or the exercise of political pluralism will not make Vietnam more democratic, but instead put it at risk of chaos and instability like some other countries have experienced.
Rejecting the wrong perspectives on religions in Viet Nam

Presently, in Viet Nam, the unanimity between religions and the State has been clearly expressed in the national solidarity including the solidarity among religions to create the strength and the decisive factor for the victory of the cause of building and safeguarding the country. This is the subjective reality which rejects the allegation that “there was no religious freedom” in Viet Nam.
