Ex-Bond star in Vietnam for UNICEF
Former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore has arrived in Vietnam for his latest mission - as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Moore, who began working with UNICEF in 1991, arrived at Noi Bai airport on Sunday at 2pm with his wife Kristina.
During a six-day visit, the 75-year-old will visit UNICEF-supported projects in the central provinces of Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Tri, the UN agency said.
Moore, who starred as 007 in seven films beginning with "Live and Let Die" in 1973 and ending with "A View To A Kill" in 1985, was awarded a knighthood by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II earlier this month for his work with UNICEF.
