The project headed by Deputy Director of the GCRA’s Buddhist Affairs Department Nguyễn Phúc Nguyên aims to produce a comprehensive research and survey on Khmer Theravada Buddhism in Vietnam, as well as make recommendations for guidelines and policies on Khmer Theravada Buddhism.

At the meeting, the project was finally appraised by a seven-member council headed by Assoc. Prof., Dr. Nguyễn Thắng Lợi from Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics.
