VietNamNet Bridge – Repatriating remains of fallen soldiers was in the spotlight during a freshly-concluded week long visit to Cambodia by a delegation of the Governmental Ad-Hoc Committee.
The delegation was led by its Deputy Permanent President Lieut. Gen. Bui Van Huan, who is also a member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Director of the Viet Nam People’s Army General Politics Department. He was accompanied by Bui Hong Linh, Deputy Minister of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs and many other senior officials from ministries and army officers.
The Vietnamese guests had a working session with Cambodian counterparts led by Gen. Pol Saroeun, Deputy Commander in Chief of the Cambodian Royal Army and President of the Cambodian Governmental Ad-Hoc Committee.
Their talks focused on progress made in locating and repatriating home remains of Vietnamese volunteers who were killed in the Cambodian soil during the war time.
Under the spirit of a relevant agreement signed by the two Governments, the Cambodian side pledged to make greater efforts and give bigger support to speed up the work.
During their stay from January 2-8, the Vietnamese officials made field trips to Siem Reap, Prek Vihia and Kongpong Chhnang provinces, to inspect the excavations sites for this purpose. They also had working sessions with Cambodian provincial taskforces on this issue.
From 2002, close to 10,000 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteers who sacrificed their lives in Cambodian battlefields have been repatriated home.

The Vietcong volunteered and sacrificed their life to occupy Cambodia for 10years! It seems the Vietcong is treating Cambodia as their motherland! No Cambodian people asked these Vietcong to sacrifice anything and beside Cambodia is not the Vietcong motherland anyway!
What seem to be the hurry to repatriate all these death Vietcong! Remember no Cambodian people asked all these Vietcong to stay in Cambodia to carry on the civil war for 10 years and it is too bad the Vietcong life will have to cut short and I hope they have learned their lesson!
Now back to business and the Cambodian leaders must go back and void all the Vietcong treaties which claimed and annexed Cambodian land and sea borders and no peace to the Vietcong aggressor!
