Binh Dinh holds memorial and reburial services for the remains of 60 martyrs

The ceremony was attended by Secretary of the Party Central Committee (PCC) and Head of the PCC’s Commission for Information and Education Nguyen Trong Nghia and Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan.

The remains and belongings of the fallen soldiers were found at Xuan Son hill in An Huu commune, Hoai An district, Binh Dinh province by a search team of Binh Dinh province between March 11 and April 15, 2022.

On the occasion, Secretary of the Party Central Committee (PCC) and Head of the PCC’s Commission for Information and Education Nguyen Trong Nghia handed over 200 million VND to the People’s Committee of Hoai An district to build graves and memorial headstones for the martyrs.
