On August 26, representatives from An Giang's specialized committee and Kep's provincial specialized committee signed a pact for joint efforts in locating, collecting, and repatriating the remains of these fallen soldiers. The agreement is set to cover the 2026-2027 dry season.\n\nAs part of the collaboration, Team K92 from An Giang's Political Division will work closely with Kep authorities, military forces, and local residents to survey and verify information about the graves and remains of the deceased Vietnamese soldiers. Kep's specialized committee will enlist the help of officials, armed forces personnel, and residents to gather data about potential grave locations and ensure the necessary conditions for Team K92's operations. At the signing ceremony, Le Van Phuoc, Vice Chairman of An Giang's People's Committee, expressed gratitude for Kep's support and emphasized the importance of continued close coordination, particularly in information gathering and location identification, to optimize the search and recovery efforts.\n\nThe Vietnamese Government extended its financial backing to the Kep provincial specialized committee, providing a sum of US$20,000 for search and recovery operations during the 2026-2027 dry season. Since 2000, search and recovery teams from An Giang have located and recovered over 4,410 sets of remains of fallen Vietnamese soldiers in six Cambodian provinces. Team K92 has contributed to this effort by recovering 91 sets of remains in Kep province, including 12 sets during the 2025-2026 dry season.",
