To continue fulfilling their mission effectively in the near future, Senior Lieutenant General Vo Minh Luong urged units and localities to raise awareness of the importance of searching for and collecting martyrs’ remains. Agencies and units should enhance the effectiveness of their information dissemination and mobilize organizations and individuals to provide information about martyrs and their graves. Furthermore, they should intensify the use of information technology in the process of completing records and lists of martyrs and creating maps for martyrs’ remains.
