Dak Lak (VNA) – Authorities in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak on May 22 held a memorial and burial service for the remains of 27 Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who fought and lost their lives in Cambodia in various wartime periods.

With support from the authorities and people of the Cambodian province of Mondulkiri, the Dak Lak Military Command’s Team K51 conducted the search and repatriation of the remains over nearly seven months during the 2023-2024 dry season.
