For the past year, An Giang provincial Committee for Religious Affairs under the Home Affairs Department has well implemented tasks of the State administration on belief and religion in the province.

The provincial religious committee has closely worked with relevant agencies for addressing practical issues related to religion in the locality. The committee has guided local religious organizations to successfully organize religious events such as the congress of the provincial Islam Community for the 2020-2025, congress of the Tu An Hieu Nghia Buddhist Association (2020-2025).

Local religious organizations and followers have carried out religious affairs and practices in accordance with their religious charters and State laws, contributing to the socio-economic development in the province.

Given these results, the provincial religious committee has received the leading emulation flag in 2020 from the provincial People’s Committee, and been awarded with a certificate of recommendation for outstanding contributions in the state administration on belief and religion.

An Giang province is home to 11 religions with 15 religious organizations and 518 religious worshipping establishments.
