Canada called to chip in for demining work
Thu, 17 December 2020
Cambodia has requested that Canada consider supporting a research project and review the current status of minefields as related to land use across the country to reduce the cost and time for demining.
Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) first vice-president Ly Thuch told The Post on December 16 that since 1999 the Canadian government has played a crucial role and provided more than $17 million to support demining activities in Cambodia.
Through this budget, Canada has supported minefield research across the country. Compiling new data for mapping will make it easier to locate mines in the country, because, without an updated map, it will be a very challenging job to clear landmines in Cambodia.
