Seoul: South Korea on Thursday returned the remains of 43 Chinese volunteers killed in the 1950-53 Korean War. A Y20 transport aircraft landed at the Shenyang Taoxian International Airport carrying the remains, state-run Global Times reported. According to Anadolu Agency, a joint ceremony was held earlier at Incheon, South Korea, where South Korean officials handed over the 11th batch of Chinese People's Volunteers remains to the Chinese side. This ongoing effort is part of a 2014 agreement between Seoul and Beijing to repatriate the remains of fallen soldiers. Since the agreement was signed, the remains of 981 Chinese soldiers have been returned to China. During the Korean War, China suffered hundreds of casualties while fighting alongside North Korea against South Korea and its allies.
