Vietnam ranked third out of the 31 countries and territories that entered the competition.
The gold medal went to Pham Duc Thang, a 12th grader from the Specialised High School of the Hanoi University of Science, under the Vietnam National University.
The silver and bronze medals were won by 11th and 12th graders from various gifted schools in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Thanh Hoa and Lam Dong.
