Speaking at the event, Nguyen Hong Thanh, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, expressed deep gratitude for the immense sacrifices of millions of Vietnamese soldiers, emphasizing that their heroic contribution to the nation’s independence and freedom will forever be remembered.

Over the years, Military Region 7, along with the Tay Ninh provincial Party Committee, authorities, military forces, and residents, has remained committed to locating and repatriating the remains of fallen soldiers.

Under a bilateral agreement between Vietnam and Cambodia, with support from Cambodia’s Royal Army and local authorities, significant progress has been made in searching for and bringing home the remains of Vietnamese martyrs.

The repatriation efforts reflect Vietnam’s enduring gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives for the nation and its international commitments.
