Both geologically and geographically, the Tu Chinh-Vung May (Vanguard-Rifleman) banks belong to Vietnam's continental shelf, Associate Professor Nguyen Chu Hoi, former deputy head of the Vietnam Administration of Sea and Islands, said at a conference in Hanoi Monday. The continental shelf refers to ledges projecting from the land into and under the sea, and the basic principle is that it is a continuation of land territory into the sea.

He added that the … [Read more...] about Vanguard Bank an extension of Vietnam’s land mass, beyond dispute: experts
