President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Huynh
Dam on May 17 congratulated Buddhists on the occasion of Buddha’s
birthday anniversary.
In a letter sent to the
Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS), Dam hailed contributions made by local
Buddhists to the country’s socio-economic and cultural development over
the past time.
He expressed his belief that the VBS in
its capacity as a VFF member will take a more active part in patriotic
movements and campaigns launched by the VFF Central Committee.
Dam called on the VBS to bring into full play their motto of
“Protecting the nation – Relieving the people” in the new stage of
development, thus helping strengthen the national great unity for a
wealthy people as well as a strong, democratic, equal and civilised
country.-VNA
