The Prime Minister has just approved a plan that aims to find the remains of 10,000 fallen soldiers by 2015.
In the next five years, the country will focus on cases when some information is available, hoping to locate the remains of about 60 percent of these cases.
The search for the remaining lost war martyrs will continue beyond 2020, the plan says, while calling for more communications campaigns to popularise policies of the Party and State on the search for fallen soldiers’ remains, in order to gather more information about war martyrs’ lost graves.
A database and an electronic information portal will be set up to help in the work.
Organisations, people in the country and overseas Vietnamese are encouraged to search for related information and assist in the search for and relocation of remains.
Recently, the Prime Minister also established a national steering board, known as Steering Board 150 on identifying remains of fallen soldiers.
Steering Board 150 is responsible for guiding and coordinating with relevant ministries, sectors and localities in investigating and providing information relating to fallen soldiers.
It is also assigned to look for and collect information in order to locate positions of remains that have no sufficient information as well as find out details on fallen soldiers’ relative through genetic testing.-VNA
