Accordingly, in dry season of 2014-2015, the team will conduct the search and collection missions in Cambodia’s Ratanakiri province and Laos’ Attapeu, Sekong and Champasak provinces.

According to Cambodian and Lao localities and the team, a huge number of fallen Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts were buried in remote areas. That becomes a challenge for search teams.

During this dry season, the team will strive to gather 30 sets of remains of fallen Vietnamese soldiers in Laos and Cambodia.
