Over the past four decades, the office has performed well in its function of consulting the Party and State and supporting the ministries in searching for personnel listed as missing in action (MIA) during the American war.
The effective settlement of the MIA issue in Vietnam has made important contributions to untangling the knots in Vietnam-US relations, helping to improve bilateral ties.
Deputy Foreign Minister Ha Kim Ngoc and Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army Lieutenant General Vo Van Tuan spoke highly of the contributions made by the office and the effective support of ministries, agencies and localities in MIA searches over the past years.
