With time, the fortunes of the Vietnamese Baháʼí community continued to improve. Baháʼís in Ho Chi Minh City were allowed to hold a quiet ceremony in May 2004 to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Baha'i Faith in the country. By 2006, Baháʼí community leaders reported having "good relations with authorities", and that the Baháʼís "appeared to be able to practice their faith without significant harassment."
