Khanh Hoa Province Intensifies DNA Sample Collection for Martyrs' Relatives

In Khanh Hoa Province, central Vietnam, a campaign has been launched to collect DNA samples from the relatives of unidentified martyrs. On July 24, the Khanh Hoa Provincial Police organized a ceremony to inaugurate this intensive sample collection drive in Nha Trang City. The initiative aims to identify the remains of soldiers who perished during the war through DNA analysis and return them to their rightful families. Vietnam has been engaged in a long-standing effort to collect and identify the remains of soldiers lost in the war, and this DNA sample collection represents a crucial step in that process. Similar DNA sample collection activities have been conducted across various provinces in Vietnam, including Ca Mau, Can Tho, and Dak Lak. This effort is positioned as part of a national humanitarian policy to heal the wounds of war and honor the sacrifices of the fallen, particularly in commemoration of the "Day of War Invalids and Martyrs." The campaign is seen as bringing hope to the families and offering a chance to restore names to lost lives, holding significant social meaning. Nhan Dan, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Vietnam, reports that such policies provide legal support and spiritual solace to the families of the martyrs.
