China plans to donate three million doses of its coronavirus vaccine to Vietnam, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said as he wrapped up a visit to Hanoi.

Yi's pledge comes amid a virus lockdown in Vietnam to contain a Covid-19 surge. About 23 million Vietnamese students started a new school year earlier this week, most of them in virtual classrooms, according to AP.

Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the two countries should use dialogue to work out any differences, state broadcaster VTV reported.
