Vietnam Today (2 Parts)

Synopsis: Two programmes looking at life in Vietnam today and examining the changes underway which are aimed at gaining Vietnam a place in the modern industrialised world.
1: Long a target of invaders due to its strategic location between India and the Far East, Vietnam is still largely agrarian, with few modern cities, and a population split by geography, ethnic differences and religion. Today Vietnam is attempting to remake itself into an industrialised society, but the task is complicated by problems of communication and transportation, and inadequate education and health care.
2: Follows Vietnam’s attempts to industrialise and upgrade its communications technology to compete in a world market. Looks at programmes for educating the populace, improving transportation and reforming the legal system. Interviews government officials and business people.
