Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today (July 26, 2018) delivered remarks at the first-ever Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, according to the Free Beacon website.
The summit includes delegates from about 80 countries and representatives from civil society organizations from around the world, as well as victims of religious persecution who have offered to share their stories.
Pompeo said America is committed to promoting religious freedom "because it is not exclusively an American right. It is a God-given, universal right bestowed on all of mankind."
Pence stated that "the American founders enshrined religious freedom as the first freedom in the Constitution of the United States, and America has always and will always lead the world by our example."
