Binh Phuoc (VNA) – A ceremony was held in the southern province of Binh Phuoc on January 10 to receive the remains of 41 martyrs who fell down during wartime in Cambodia.

The ceremony also marked the end of the first phase of the 2024 - 2025 dry season search by the provincial Military Command’s Team K72.

During the operation, the team unearthed 41 sets of remains in Cambodia’s Kratie and Kampong Thom provinces, and 129 others in Binh Phuoc’s Loc Ninh district.

Colonel Pham Nhu Quan, Political Commissar of the Binh Phuoc Military Command, said the searching mission is a heavy, but noble and honourable duty.

He requested intensified efforts in gathering information, searching, and repatriating the remains of fallen Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts in Cambodia, as well as in other areas with significant leads on martyrs and their graves.

Following the ceremony, the recovered remains were transferred to the provincial martyrs’ cemetery./.
