While paying homage to VN’s heroic martyrs at the Kim Son martyr cemetery in Hanoi on Sunday, Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam said a database of martyrs and their graves has been compiled on paper by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs and the Ministry of National Defence, but there has been no way to identify hundreds of thousands of graves that lack information. The Vietnam Post Corporation was assigned to coordinate with authorized agencies to collect data about war martyrs and their graves and cemeteries across the country and build the portal.
Information, images and coordinates of each grave will be compared and connected with the existing database of the two ministries and then made available on the portal.
