Is Vietnam is east or west prime meridian?

It depends on the connotation of Prime Meridian. Although there are a number of meridians defined as prime meridians, the Greenwich Meridian was established as the international prime meridian in 1884 and is at 0 degrees longitude. The opposite is 180 degrees longitude. Vietnam is located between 100 and 110 degrees east longitude and between 0 and 25 degrees north latitude. To locate Vietnam using west longitudinal reference it would be between 250 and 260 degrees west longitude. Since the distance from the prime latitude to Vietnam is shorter in the eastward direction than the westward direction it would be considered east of prime meridian.
