Nearly 1,400 sets of fallen soldiers’ remains have been recovered nationwide after four months of implementing the 500-day campaign to search for and recover soldiers whose burial locations or identities remain unknown.

Son La Province is accelerating efforts to identify the remains of fallen soldiers through DNA technology as part of the nationwide 500-Day Campaign to search for, recover and identify war martyrs' remains.

The war ended more than half a century ago, but the journey to restore the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice is far from over.

The Viet Nam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) organised a ceremony in Ha Noi on December 11 to announce DNA identification results of the remains of fallen soldiers, using a newly developed genomic analysis process (NGS–SNP).
