Sir Roger Moore to visit Vietnam as UNICEF ambassador

The Hindustan Times has reported that the recently ennobled British actor and former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore will visit Vietnam later this week as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Children`s Fund (UNICEF).

Moore, who began working with UNICEF in 1991, is due to arrive in the southeast Asian country on Sunday. 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 on Tuesday.

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.
