reporter’s query on Vietnam’s position on a Freedom House report that again

policy framework and implemented a range of specific measures to better ensure
human rights and citizen’s rights while actively becoming engaged in
international cooperation in human rights.

efforts and achievements, backed its way of approach, and made constructive
recommendations.
