Soldiers' remains from Korean War returned

The Republic of Korea handed over to China on Wednesday the remains of 20 Chinese soldiers who died during the Korean War in the 1950s, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.

Gao Xiaobing, deputy head of the ministry, said the remains of 589 Chinese People's Volunteers have been returned in five groupings since 2014.

"China appreciates the ROK government's efforts and hopes the ROK government will fully implement the agreements that have been reached by the two countries and continue to facilitate future handovers," she said.
