Remains of 83 fallen [Vietnamese] soldiers repatriated from Cambodia

Authorities of Cambodia’s Kongpong Thom and Kongpong Cham provinces on June 29 held a repatriation ceremony for 83 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers who died on battlefields in Cambodia during the wartime.

The remains, which were found by the search teams K70, K71 and relevant agencies between the two countries, were transferred to the authorities of Vietnam’s Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh provinces.

Addressing the ceremony, Chum Chuan, chairman of Kongpong Cham province and advisor of Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his pleasure at the fine results of co-operation in the search between Vietnam and Cambodia in general and in the province in particular.

He said that the search and reburial for Vietnamese volunteer soldiers are not only obligation but also responsibility of the Cambodian administrations at all levels and people, and this mission will continue until the last remain to be found.

On this occasion, he conveyed profound thanks from Cambodian people to Vietnamese families whose relatives died in Cambodia and shared grief and losses with them.(VNA)
