In her speech, Vice Chairwoman of Gia Lai provincial People’s Committee and Head of the provincial Steering Committee 515 Nguyen Thi Thanh Lich emphasized that though the war was over, many objective and historical factors still cause difficulties for the search and collection of remains of martyrs.
According to the provincial leader, remains of many Vietnamese advisors and voluntary troops laying down their lives while doing international duties in Cambodia have still yet to be found in the host country. Therefore, units should show firm political determination and high sense of responsibility, and carry out the tasks with their heart and enthusiasm.
