A team specialising in the search for those remains of the provincial Military Command found them in a campaign during the 2013-2014 dry season. Fifteen were uncovered in Cambodia’s Rattanakiri province, while the remainder in Laos’s Champassak and Attapeu provinces.

The same day, a solemn ceremony was held at a local cemetery in the central province of Quang Tri to bury the remains of 11 Vietnamese war heroes who died in Laos’s Savannakhet province during wars against France and America.-VNA
