"Vietnam brings home over 3,200 war dead from Cambodia
Vietnam's defence ministry says the remains of over 3,200 soldiers killed during Vietnam's decade-long occupation of Cambodia were returned and buried with full military honours in 2003.
An official said the operation cost 4.8 US million dollars.
Hanoi still insists that all Vietnamese troops who served in Cambodia during its December 1978-1989 occupation were "volunteers" even though most were ordinary recruits doing their national service in an unpopular foreign campaign.
Vietnam's intervention in Cambodia remains a deeply sensitive issue.
Hanoi only admitted that more than 10,000 soldiers were killed or went missing during its campaign.
