A BBC correspondent in Vietnam for U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to the country said Monday that he had been ordered by Vietnamese authorities to stop reporting — apparently because they suspected he had met one of the government's sharpest critics.

Vietnam's Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment.
