President Thuong affirmed that the Party and State have always determined that great national solidarity is a strategic guideline, a source of strength, a main driving force, and a decisive factor to ensure the sustainable victory of the nation building and safeguarding cause.
That source of strength is formed from social forces, particularly religion dignitaries and officials, ethnic minorities, intellectuals and individuals in society, he stressed.
The President asserted that the Party and State always pay attention to and create all conditions for religions to operate equally and respect the freedom to religion; improve the material and spiritual life of people, including ethnic minorities; and at the same time create favourable mechanisms and conditions for intellectuals to develop their capacity and qualifications. The strength of the great national solidarity bloc is continuously being consolidated and enhanced, thereby promoting the potential, reputation and social position of each individual to help them contribute more to the common development.
