This is one of activities to mark the 31st anniversary of Vietnam’s All People’s Defence Festival and the 76th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam People’s Army (December 22).
The event was also attended by representatives from the Royal Cambodian Army led by Defence Ministry Secretary of State General El Van Sarat.
The delegates paid tribute to voluntary Vietnamese soldiers who laid down their lives in Cambodia during the war.
The Vietnamese Consulates General in Preah Sihanouk and Battambang provinces also held incense offering ceremonies to pay respect to Vietnamese soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Cambodia on December 18 and 19.
In recent years, the governments of the two countries have coordinated to search for and repatriate the remains of fallen Vietnamese soldiers./.
