	More Remains Believed To Be of US MIA in Vietnam Repatriated

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, on August 2, 2025, in response to a reporter’s question regarding Vietnam's reaction to the information in the report issued by the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia concerning humanitarian cooperation in the search and identification of US service members missing during the war in Vietnam (MIA), Ministry Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang stated:

“These are distorted and false claims, and we firmly reject them. Humanitarian cooperation in the search and identification of US servicemen missing in the war in Vietnam has been actively and effectively carried out by the governments of Vietnam and the US for over 50 years. Thousands of remains of US servicemen have been identified and returned to their families.

This is a deeply meaningful result that has contributed to promoting bilateral cooperation in war legacy issues and serves as vivid evidence of the humanitarian spirit, helping to build and strengthen mutual trust and friendship between Vietnam and the US.

Vietnam’s effective MIA cooperation has always been recognized and highly appreciated by the US, which regards it as a model of international cooperation.”

“In the time ahead, the two countries will continue to fully cooperate in this area in line with the spirit of the Joint Statement on upgrading Vietnam-US relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace, cooperation, and sustainable development.”

Humanitarian cooperation in the search and identification of US service members missing during the war in Vietnam has been jointly carried out by the two countries since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973.

To date, the joint efforts have yielded positive results, enabling the US to identify and repatriate the remains of nearly 750 US servicemen who went missing during the war in Vietnam.

On July 25, in Da Nang City, the two countries co-organized the 170th handover ceremony of remains of US servicemen. The Vietnamese government representative handed over three boxes of remains to the US government representative.
