Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry and the UK’s London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on October 20 inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on education and training cooperation.

Under the MoU, the LSE will consider the organisation of short-term training for Vietnamese diplomats, focusing on economic diplomacy.

LSE also pledged to help Vietnam’s Institute of Foreign Relations in teaching programmes and the exchange of lecturers and students.
