Vietnam, Laos hold talks on searching for martyr remains
Two special government working groups of Vietnam and Laos met on June 8 to discuss the search and repatriation of Vietnamese voluntary soldiers and experts who had laid down their lives in Laos during war time.
Deputy Minister of National Defence Nguyen Thanh Cung and his Lao counterpart Chansamon Channhalath compared notes on recent search activities and praised the results of effective
coordination between the two groups.
Since 1994, 16,000 sets of remains of the Vietnamese fallen combatants have been reburied and repatriated and both sides will further search for remaining 1,000 sets of remains in the near future.
