At a regular press conference on 6 August in Ha Noi, Hang explained that Viet Nam and the US on 10 July officially signed an agreement on English teaching of the Peace Corps programme based on the Viet Nam-US framework agreement signed in 2016.

The agreement prescribes the scope of cooperation, the number of volunteers to be sent to Viet Nam in the first two years, the type of educational institutions where the volunteers will work, and their activities, she added.

It is among the important activities marking the 25^th anniversary of Vietnam-US diplomatic ties, according to Hang.
