(VOV) -The southern province of Binh Phuoc on July 23 held a ceremony to rebury remains of 58 volunteer Vietnamese soldiers repatriated from the Cambodian provinces of Kratie and Kampong Thom.
The ceremony was attended by leaders of the Command of Military Zone 7, provinces of Kratie, Kampong Thom, Binh Phuoc and local people.

Thousands of fallen soldiers have been unaccounted for across Vietnam and in the two neighbouring countries. The search, gathering, repatriation and re-interment of the soldiers are conducted every year, receiving due attention from the Party and State.
To date, as many as 2,423 sets of remains of Vietnamese soldiers have been reburied in Binh Phuoc.
