PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Manet requested the Japan Mine Action Service (JMAS) to expand cooperation with demining operators in Cambodia, as the Kingdom vowed to clear more areas of UXO and ERW.

In a July 11 meeting with JMAS director Koji Yamazaki in Phnom Penh, Manet said that the clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) has been the main goal of the government since the previous mandate and the current government continues to pay close attention to the issue.
