Reburial held in Thanh Hoa for remains of martyrs repatriated from Laos

The remains were found and collected during the 2022-2023 dry season.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dau Thanh Tung thanked the Party Committee, authorities, armed forces and people of Laos’ Houaphanh province for creating favourable conditions for the search for and repatriation of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who laid down their lives in Laos during the wartime.

Since 1998, thanks to joint efforts of the two countries’ units, the remains of thousands of Vietnamese martyrs have been repatriated from Laos for reburial at home.
