A ceremony was held in the central province of Nghe An on April 22 to rebury 84 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who had sacrificed their lives on the former battlefields in Laos.
The remains were found and excavated by a special working group of Vietnam’s Nghe An province and Laos’ Xieng Khouang and Vientiane provinces during a joint search campaign in the two Lao provinces in the 2011-2012 dry season.
Earlier, local Lao people and Vietnamese nationals in Xieng Khouang province held a requiem to commemorate the fallen Vietnamese soldiers and experts.
