Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to the Vietnamese Government concerning the treatment of Christians in Vietnam. [25295]

Mr. Bradshaw

The Secretary of State raised general human rights issues in Vietnam when he met the Vietnamese Foreign Minister, Mr. Nien, in London in September 2001. The EU Human Rights Working Group in Hanoi, in which our embassy plays a leading role, raises the treatment of religious groups and individuals, during its regular dialogue with the Vietnamese authorities.
