BEIJING - The remains of 12 Chinese People's Volunteers martyrs who lost their lives in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) will be returned to China from the Republic of Korea (ROK) on Wednesday, according to China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs.

It will be the 13th such repatriation following a handover agreement signed by the two countries. Since 2014, the remains of 1,011 soldiers have been returned to China from the ROK, the ministry said.
