QUANG NINH (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): The northern coastal Quang Ninh Province People's Committee has refuted claims that it has allowed a project to conduct sea encroachment and subdivide land plots for sale in Halong Bay area, which seriously undermined the conservation of the Unesco-recognised site.

The committee said the information circulating online about a development project encroaching into the bay in recent days was "not true."
