In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, people nationwide have responded to the government’s twin tasks of epidemic control and economic growth. The Vice President praised contribution by nearly 1 million Protestants to national movements: “Despite pandemic impacts, Protestant dignitaries and followers in 34 cities and provinces have maintained their practices and disciplines while complying with the State policies and laws. Let’s praise Protestant followers in the central and central highlands for their efforts to help local people stabilize life after floods and storms this year.”

Pastor Truong said he was pleased with the government’s efficient response to the pandemic and thanked the Party and the State for helping all people, including the Protestants to enjoy a cheerful Christmas.
