She told Mr. Holland that Vietnam was a multi-religious country where people from different religious groups live in harmony. The Vietnamese Government creates conditions for people to practice their religions in accordance with the law while encouraging them to engage in social activities and build a better life.
She expressed her hope that Mr. Holland would contribute to improving the relationship between Vietnam and the US.
