Phnom Penh (FN), July 3 - The Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), cooperating with the Vietnamese exploration team, found a total of 540 Vietnamese troop’s corpse in Cambodia over the first six months of 2019, according to defense spokesman Chhum Socheat on Wednesday.

The Ministry of National Defense held its first half-day meeting on Wednesday morning to review its performance for the second semester of 2019 under the leadership of minister of national defense Tea Banh.

It is worth noting that the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Vietnamese Government signed an agreement on 28 August 2000 on finding the remains of Vietnamese soldiers’ corpse, which were left during the war in Cambodia.

Not to be outdone by newbie Simone, the News department swoops with 540 corpse in one punchy little post.

Gia Lai (VNA) – The Central Highlands province of Gia Lai on October 22 launched a search for and repatriation of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts in Cambodia for the 2019 – 2020 dry season.

The campaign for the 2019 – 2020 dry season features the engagement of 67 officers and soldiers who will be divided into three groups to carry out the work in Preah Vihear, Stung Treng and Ratanakiri provinces of Cambodia.

Information about the sites they are set to focus on was provided by Cambodian people.

Vice Chairwoman of the Gia Lai People’s Committee Huynh Nu Thu Ha, who is also head of the province’s steering board, said the search for and repatriation of martyrs’ remains are becoming increasingly difficult due to terrain changes and the decomposition of remains as time goes by.

Since its search and repatriation efforts began in 2001, Gia Lai has brought home remains of 1,412 martyrs from Cambodia.
