Lego has announced plans to build a new manufacturing operation in Vietnam to keep up with growing demand for its products in Asia.

The toymaking giant said it will invest more than $1bn (£760m) in the project, which will be near the country's main business hub of Ho Chi Minh City.

Production at the plant is set to begin in 2024 and is expected to create up to 4,000 jobs over the next 15 years.
