Minister of Education Phung Xuan Nha went to the airport to welcome the delegation.

The King then received a bouquet of fresh flowers from a female student.

At 71, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is a man who has flown planes on official trips.

The delegation then left the airport to return to the resort. The APEC 2017 Summit Week, with the participation of about 12,000 delegates from 21 member economies, took place in Da Nang from November 6 to 11.
