This is part of the agreements signed between the Vietnamese province and Cambodian localities as part of the working trip to Cambodia from October 6-10 by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Trung Ho.
At the signing ceremonies, Ho expressed his gratitude towards the valuable support of the Cambodian local governments, armed forces and people, stating their assistance, ranging from providing information as well as guiding and protecting An Giang’s search teams, has been vital to locating and repatriating the remains of the soldiers shedding their blood for the noble international mission.
