In 2014-2015, South Korea returned the remains of 505 Chinese soldiers, and Thursday's handover was the third one since 2014.

After the ceremony, Dou told reporters that South Korea and China, in the spirit of friendliness and practical cooperation, have conducted handovers of the remains of the war dead three times, which is a reflection of the continued, sound and steady development of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two sides.
