She emphasized that these materials would serve as an important basis for competent authorities to continue verification, narrow down search areas and improve the effectiveness of recovery and identification efforts.
She requested the Provincial Military Command to work closely with relevant agencies, local authorities and research groups to further review archival records and cross-check witness information, thereby developing scientific, effective and regulation-compliant search and recovery plans.
