Neak Nerun, Deputy Governor of Siem Reap, hailed the close coordination in the search, collection, and repatriation of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who fell down in Cambodia during the wartime.

He went on to say that the government, military, and people of Cambodia in general, and Siem Reap in particular, will continue this mission along with the Vietnamese Government and Tay Ninh province in the coming time.

Nguyen Hong Thanh, Standing Vice Chairman of the Tay Ninh provincial People's Committee, who is also head of Steering Committee 515, noted that, over the years, under the direction of the Party, State, and the agreement between the Vietnamese and Cambodian governments, Tay Ninh’s Steering Committee 515 and the specialised committees of the five Cambodian provinces have worked proactively to search for, collect, and repatriate the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who lost their lives in Cambodia.

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the valuable and sincere support from Cambodian units, individuals, and citizens in providing information, assisting with identification, and helping locate burial sites.
