Senator Thanh Hai Ngo, hosted an event on the Freedom of Religion in Vietnam. The discussion was about human rights and religious freedom within Vietnam. A current state which fails to establish a genuine democratic respect for internationally recognized human rights.
Human Rights, the Rule of Law, democracy and freedom of religion are important pillars of our Canadian Foreign policy. As Prime Minister Harper mentioned in his statement during the establishment of the office of religious freedom, “Dr. Bennett will monitor religious freedom around the world. He will promote it as a key objective of Canadian foreign policy. And, Dr. Bennett will help ensure that the protection of religious freedom informs the policies and programs of the Government of Canada”. The Honourable Tim Uppal, Lois Brown, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Development, Mr. Matthew Mayer, Deputy Director and Representative of the Office of Religious Freedom, Jeff Nankivell, Director-General, Development, Asia-Pacific and acting Assistant Deputy Minister, Asia-Pacific, DFATD and Ms. Evelyn Puxley, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada Southeast Asia & Oceania Relations joined representatives and leaders of the United Buddhist Church of Vietnam, Hoa Hao, Cao Dai, Protestant Church, Catholic Church and the Montagnard for this discussion.
