The Central Highlands Regional Steering Committee and the Government Committee for Religious Affairs have organised a conference reviewing religious affairs in the Central Highlands region and the southern province of Binh Phuoc.
According to the Government Committee for Religious Affairs, the four majority religions in the Central Highlands and Binh Phuoc—Catholicism, Buddhism, Protestantism, and Caodaism—have more than 2.1 million followers.

Local authorities have consistently allowed religious people to practice their beliefs and build communal worshipping areas in line with regulations.

In his speech, Government Religious Affairs Committee Deputy Head Bui Thanh Ha asked localities to ensure religious activity regulations are up to date and properly enforced. Any emerging issues should be addressed as soon as possible.

Ha also underlined the need for specific legislation on land management, construction, and religious affairs.
