Attending the ceremony were representatives of the Lao government and Champasak, Sekong and Attapeu provinces, and the Steering Committee for Search and Repatriation of Remains of Fallen Soldiers (Steering Committee 515) of Vietnam's Kon Tum province.
Participants at the event offered incense and flowers in tribute to the martyrs who devoted their lives to the noble international spirit.
The remains will be reburied at the martyrs' cemetery in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum.
Searching and gathering the remains of martyrs is a sacred activity to express gratitude to heroes and martyrs, reflecting the tradition of “when you drink water, remember its source” of the Vietnamese people, contributing to educating the revolutionary and patriotic traditions for people of the two countries.
