On the afternoon of July 25, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Public Security held a conference to review one year of implementing Plan No. 356/KH-BCA on the collection of DNA samples for relatives of unidentified martyrs. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended the conference.
According to the report of the Ministry of Public Security, C06 has coordinated with relevant units to collect 57,273 samples for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, birth mothers and relatives of martyrs nationwide.
In localities, C06 coordinated with PC06 and local police to organize more than 500 mobile collection sessions for elderly and immobile relatives of martyrs and organized centralized sample collection in localities.
As of July 20, C06 has completed analyzing 11,138 DNA samples of martyrs' relatives, and updated the identification database with more than 10,000 DNA data of martyrs' relatives.
In early May 2025, C06 chaired a meeting with the Department of Social Policy (Ministry of National Defense), the Department of Meritorious People (Ministry of Home Affairs) and DNA testing units of remains and martyrs' relatives to receive and transfer remains and DNA samples of relatives to testing units for analysis and comparison.
Since then, the laboratories have analyzed more than 5,400 DNA results from a total of more than 17,600 skeletal samples. There are still about more than 12,200 skeletal samples that have not been analyzed or tested.
According to the representative of C06, the collection of DNA information of martyrs' relatives, who are priority subjects such as the martyrs' biological mothers and the martyrs' biological mothers, is a good preparation step for the journey to search for and identify the martyrs' remains. DNA information in the format of the mother's DNA has the highest value in performing DNA matching of martyrs' remains.
Many mothers of unidentified martyrs have passed away before their DNA samples were collected, a huge loss in the journey to find and verify information about the martyrs' remains. Up to now, many mothers of martyrs are old and weak, so the work of collecting DNA samples is very difficult.
