Vietnam Hands Over More Possible Remains of Missing US Servicemember

Vietnamese Deputy Minister of National Defence Sen. Lieut. Gen. Hoang Xuan Chien voiced his confidence that sustained goodwill and joint action would allow both sides to tackle lingering war consequences while broadening cooperation across other domains, which, he described as the best way to heal physical, emotional, and societal scars and fostering the stronger Vietnam - US relationship.
