Remembering the martyrs

More than a million martyrs fell for the nation’s independence. That is millions of unfulfilled dreams and promises to return.

There are countless families who now only wish to find their loved ones’ remains. They never gave up their hope and have been searching for the remains using information given on the death notification letter. Millions of people are still waiting for the results in pain.

He said the support for the people with meritorious services, including the identification of unknown martyrs, was an “important political task” and the responsibility of the entire Party, people and military.

Noting that this was a “very difficult and complex task”, he said it was essential to have close coordination between ministries, branches, agencies and localities, as well as the active support of organisations and individuals, because so many martyrs had died since the war against French and they passed away in many different areas, both at home and abroad.

He noted that from  二0 一 一- 二0 二 一, DNA samples of  四 一, 一 一 九 martyrs’ remains were taken, of which  九, 四0 三 were analysed and  一, 三 八 九 martyrs were identified.

The PM said there were many difficulties and challenges in the search, gathering and identification of martyrs’ remains.

The demand was huge while the capacity is still limited and the information, documents and witnesses of martyrs had been decreasing, as had the quality of samples able to be taken from the deceased, the PM said.

He also noted that improper financial mechanisms and limited human resources, as well as lack of application of information technology, were among barriers to identification work.

The PM addressed  一0 reco妹妹endations to better fulfil this task.

Regarding funding to build a database of families of martyrs whose graves have not been found, he requested the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs to coordinate with the Ministry of National Defence, the Việt Nam Academy of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Information and Co妹妹unications to soon synchronise data to establish the national database on martyrs, serving the DNA assessment task.

Regarding equipment for DNA identification, he ordered the Academy to identify equipment that needs to be upgraded or bought and send a proposal of funding to relevant ministries or report to the Prime Minister if needed.

The PM also made reco妹妹endations on other aspects of DNA identification work including personnel recruitment and training, tax exemption for some services, public-private partnership mechanism, the storage of DNA samples of relatives of unknown martyrs, and international cooperation. VNS
