BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — A burial ceremony for the remains of 30 Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) will be held Saturday in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs said Tuesday.
The remains of Chinese soldiers killed during the War to Resist American Aggression and Aid the Korean People (1950-1953) will be returned to China from the Republic of Korea (ROK) on Friday, the ministry said.
A Chinese high-ranking delegation, an honor guard of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and a Y-20 military transport aircraft of the PLA Air Force will carry out the mission of receiving the remains of the deceased and repatriating them to their homeland.
The burial ceremony will be held at the CPV cemetery in Shenyang on Saturday. Representatives from central and local governments, military personnel, war veterans, representatives of the relatives of the fallen soldiers and city residents will pay their respects to the fallen.
This repatriation was the 12th since 2014, when a corresponding agreement was signed between China and the Republic of Korea.
From 2014 to 2024, both countries, in accordance with international law and humanitarian principles, have successfully completed 11 consecutive operations to transfer the remains of 981 KPVs from the Republic of Korea, as well as related artifacts.
According to available data, nearly 200,000 KPV soldiers died during the war, most of whom were buried on the Korean Peninsula. -0-
