A trade mission led by the US Department of Commerce's Under Secretary for International Trade Francisco Sanchez and comprising representatives from around 60 US universities and colleges began a trip to two of the fastest-growing markets in Asia, Vietnam and Indonesia, from 2-9 April, the official Saigon Giai Phong newspaper reported.
The mission aimed to attract more Vietnamese and Indonesian students to the US, as well as to open doors for sharing faculty and research. It is part of an US President Obama's goal to double US exports in five years. Higher education ranks among the top 10 US exports Sanchez said.
Sara Schonhardt reported for Voice of America in Jakarta that the US wants to double the number of Indonesian students in America.
