Three Vietnamese students have won gold medals at the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (APMOPS), recently held in Singapore.

The trio are Le Tri Lam, Dinh Thao Vy and Hoang Anh Dung from Ha Noi. They were among the eight Vietnamese candidates competing in the event.

Lam earned the country a place in the top ten nations for the second time.

Last year, Viet Nam bagged two gold medals at the contest held annually by Hwa Chong Academy in Singapore for Year 6 and 7 pupils from the Asia-Pacific region.
