HANOI- Vietnam’s economic growth accelerated in the second quarter of the year, as robust exports and industrial production amid a global recovery helped offset the impact of the Southeast Asian country’s most serious COVID-19 outbreak so far.

Gross domestic product grew 6.61 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, faster than a revised expansion of 4.65 percent in the first quarter, the government’s General Statistics Office (GSO) said on Tuesday.
