To continue promoting the achieved results, Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee Nguyen Trong Nghia suggested that Ho Chi Minh City strengthen propaganda, widespread dissemination and effectively implement the Party's guidelines and the State's laws and policies on ethnic groups and religions.
