The delegation held meetings with the Quang Tri provincial Military Command and conducted field surveys at the Truong Son National War Cemetery and other war cemeteries in the province.
In recent years, with support from the Party, State, and Ministry of National Defense, Quang Tri province has actively maintained and enhanced the construction, refurbishment, and care of war cemeteries and memorials dedicated to fallen soldiers. This has created favorable conditions for citizens and martyrs’ families across the nation to offer incense and pay tribute to fallen soldiers.
