Remains of 11 Vietnamese martyrs repatriated from Laos

VOV.VN - A ceremony was held on May 16 at Cau Treo International Border Gate in the central province of Ha Tinh to receive 11 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who sacrificed their lives in Laos.

At the event, leaders of both Laos and Ha Tinh province, along with other participants, came together to offer incense and flowers to the fallen soldiers as a way of showing their deep gratitude for their sacrifice.

During the 2023 to 2024 dry season, a total of 11 sets of remains were collected by the provincial Special Task Force with support from authorities of Borikhamxay province and the capital Vientiane. All of them are still unclaimed.
