Vietnam's PM inks Microsoft deals
Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai has signed agreements to promote computer technology in Vietnam with Microsoft chairman Bill Gates.
The move came during the first visit to the US by a Vietnamese leader since the end of the Vietnam War 30 years ago.
The deals, to provide training for teachers and to support Vietnam's technology sector, were formally agreed at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle.
Mr Khai is due to meet President George W Bush in Washington on Tuesday.
He is expected to press the US about his country's long-standing desire to join to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
But correspondents say continuing differences between the two countries include Vietnam's human rights record, and its demand that America compensate victims of the US chemical weapons used in the war.
There have been some demonstrations over human rights since Mr Khai arrived in Seattle on Sunday.
