The bodies of a Vietnamese woman and her daughter who were killed in the MH17 disaster have been identified in the Netherlands, the foreign ministry has said.
However, her son, who was on board the same flight, is yet to be identified, foreign ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said at a news conference in Hanoi Thursday.
Nguyen Ngoc Minh, 37, her daughter Dang Minh Chau, 17 and son Dang Quoc Duy, 13, were all born in Vietnam but later acquired Dutch citizenship.
They were returning to Hanoi from the Netherlands for the summer holiday when the Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down in the Ukraine in July.
The crash claimed the lives of all 298 people on board. As of Sep. 30, 251 victims were identified, according to Dutch authorities.
“Their relatives in Vietnam have been informed. We are cooperating closely with the authorities in the Netherlands and Malaysia to [repatriate] the victims,” spokesman Binh said.
Vietnam has also urged concerned agencies in the Netherlands to continue with the identification of Dang Quoc Duy, Binh said.
