Abstract: On March 4th, 2026, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released its “Annual Report on the State of International Religious Freedom in 2025,” with negative assessments of the religious freedom situation in Vietnam. Similar to previous reports, in its report on religious freedom in Vietnam, USCIRF continues to make biased assessments based on inaccurate and one-sided information, aiming to interfere in internal affairs and undermine Vietnam’s reputation internationally. Approaching from the perspective of religious freedom, this article presents some findings reflecting Vietnam’s efforts to demonstrate respect for and guarantee this right over the past eight years of implementing the Law on Religion and Belief. These achievements completely refute the erroneous and ill-intentioned assessments of US CIRF regarding religious freedom in Vietnam.
