Currently, the province has over 120,000 national contributors. Since 2021, the province has collected 2,843 sets of martyrs’ remains, including 2,080 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer troops and advisors in Cambodia.

These practical activities contributed to raising the material and spiritual life of policy beneficiaries and national contributors and educating people, especially youngsters, of the gratitude tradition of the Vietnamese people.
