Party official makes Christmas visit to Hanoi Archbishop

Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilization Truong Thi Mai (L) and Cardinal Nguyen Van Nhon

Mai said the socio-economic and national defense achievements over the past 30 years of renovation are partly attributable to active contributions by religious dignitaries and followers in general and Catholics in particular.

She hailed dignitaries and followers of the Hanoi Archdiocese for complying with the Party and State’s policies and laws over the past years.

She thanked the Cardinal, Archbishop and dignitaries for cooperating with local authorities and people in the city to develop the diocese and follow the principle of living gospel amidst the nation.

Cardinal Nguyen Van Nhon, for his part, expressed hope that the country would reap more successes next year, with the support from the Vietnam Catholic Church.
