At a regular press conference on Thursday in Hanoi, Hang explained that Vietnam and the US last month signed an agreement on English teaching of the Peace Corps program based on the 2016 Vietnam-US framework agreement.
The July deal prescribes the scope of cooperation, the number of volunteers to be sent to Vietnam in the first two years, the type of educational institutions where the volunteers will work, and their activities. It is among the activities marking the 25th anniversary of Vietnam-US diplomatic ties, according to Hang.
