Government agrees to establish Mine Action Partnership Group
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, head of the State Steering Committee for the National Mine Action Programme, has agreed to set up the Mine Action Partnership Group.
The overall objective of the group is to call on donors and international sponsors to effectively deploy the programme.
The Mine Action Partnership Group also aims to bolster mutual understanding on policies, plans and measures to implement the programme, ease the impacts of bomb and mine pollution on Vietnam’s socio-economic development.
It is expected to team up with domestic and international organisations to deal with the aftermath of bombs and mines left over from war.
More than 800,000 tonnes of unexploded bombs and mines are buried across 21% of the country, mainly in the central provinces of Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Ngai.
