Key mistaken for Czech politician in Vietnamese paper

A photo caption on the front page of a Vietnamese newspaper has mistakenly labelled Prime Minister John Key the President Senate of the Czech Republic, Milan Štěch.

 

Mr Key has just finished a trade trip to Vietnam, where he met with Vietnamese President Trương Tấn Sang.

The trip made front-page news in national English-language daily Viet Nam News, with two photos of Mr Key appearing side-by-side. Unfortunately for the Prime Minister, only one of the pictures was captioned correctly.

 

His office says the caption was "clearly a mistake".

Mr Key has also famously been called "an unidentified guest" talking with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
