The remains of 20 Chinese soldiers who were killed in the Korean War were returned to China by the South Korean government on Mar. 28. The occasion marked the fifth such return under the terms of a 2013 agreement that was signed between the two sides. A ceremony for the deceased was held at Incheon Airport in which Chinese ambassador to South Korea, Qiu Guohong, placed Chinese flags on the boxes which held the remains. To date, 569 sets of remains have been repatriated under the agreement. (Photo Pool)
