此次是按照中韓雙方共識實施的第六次交接,韓方向中方送還的10具烈士遺骸及相關(guān)遺物是在包括鐵原、漣川、華川、非軍事區(qū)等在內(nèi)7個地點發(fā)掘的。
退役軍人事務(wù)部副部長錢鋒在現(xiàn)場發(fā)表講話時表示,中方將進一步加強與韓方務(wù)實友好合作(practical and friendly cooperation),積極推進在韓中國人民志愿軍烈士遺骸聯(lián)合搜尋、鑒定(joint search and identification)等工作,讓更多志愿軍烈士英魂早日回到祖國。

69年前,中國人民志愿軍(Chinese People's Volunteers)跨過鴨綠江,奔赴戰(zhàn)火彌天的前線,踏上抗美援朝、保家衛(wèi)國的戰(zhàn)場。
The Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) fought alongside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) army in the Korean War against the South Korean army and the United States-led UN forces between 1950 and 1953.
1950年至1953年,中國人民志愿軍支援朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭,同朝鮮人民軍一道對抗韓國國軍和以美國為首的“聯(lián)合國軍”。
在那場戰(zhàn)爭中,有197653名志愿軍戰(zhàn)士在戰(zhàn)場犧牲,魂斷異國、埋骨他鄉(xiāng)。
1月23日,退役軍人事務(wù)部(China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs)副部長錢鋒會見了來訪的韓國國防部國際政策局局長李元翼一行。
雙方一致同意,中韓雙方遵循人道主義原則(humanitarian spirit),本著友好協(xié)商、務(wù)實合作的精神(based on friendly exchanges and practical cooperation),從2014年至2018年已連續(xù)5年成功交接589位在韓中國人民志愿軍烈士遺骸,今年將按照中韓雙方達成的共識實施第六次交接。今后在韓發(fā)掘出的中國人民志愿軍烈士遺骸,韓國將繼續(xù)移交給中國(any additional remains that are discovered will be returned to China)。
這一次志愿軍烈士遺骸交接也是退役軍人事務(wù)部去年4月成立之后進行的首次交接。
