Vietnam has legal basis to dismiss any proposal for joint exploration illegally enabling violations to her continental shelf, said Dr. Nguyen Hong Thao, a Vietnamese lecturer, at a workshop on territorial disputes in the East Sea recently held in the UK.
The fifth international workshop on the East Sea opened in Hanoi on
November 11 with the participation of more than 200 Vietnamese and
foreign scholars, experts, government officials and representatives from
diplomatic corps in Vietnam.
