Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesia and Vietnam here on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the fields of energy and mineral resources.

He said Vietnam wished to learn from Indonesia about mineral and energy exploration especially coal exploration.
"They wish to learn more from Indonesia on how to manage mining especially coal mining," he said.
He said he had offered education and training to Vietnam. "I just now said we also have a training and education department that trains and educates thousands of our workers. If they are interested they may send their staff to learn in Indonesia," he said.
