Angelina Jolie visits Vietnam
22 January 2007

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is paying a visit to Vietnam in order to promote her charity.

The star travelled to the Asian country for a meeting on behalf of the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project, which generates funds for Jolie's son's native country Cambodia.

Jolie met with financial bigwigs in order to establish a number of projects including one which will help farmers to grow and sell bamboo.

The star's visit to Vietnam comes as she and Brad Pitt are moving home to New Orleans.

The celebrity couple, along with children Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh, have bought a $3.5m (£1.77m), six-bedroom house.

Vietnam borders Cambodia to the south-west, with China to the north and Laos to the north-west.

The country is one of the most densely populated in south-east Asia, with a population of 85m and is popular among tourists for its outstanding natural beauty, including Ha Long Bay, a natural heritage site.
