ARMAC congratulates Cambodia on the 26th National Mine Awareness Day, marking another milestone in the nation’s commitment to a mine-free future. This day underscores Cambodia’s leadership in mine action, inspiring the region through its dedication to demining, victim assistance, risk education, and capacity building.
Today, ARMAC had the privilege of participating in the official commemoration in Banteay Meanchey Province, alongside distinguished guests including H.E. Dr. Ly Thuch, Senior Minister and First Vice President of CMAA; H.E. Oum Reatrey, Governor of Banteay Meanchey Province; Ms. Alissar Chaker, Resident Representative of UNDP Cambodia; and Ms. Kristy Harries, Development Counsellor of the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh. The event brought together over 1,200 participants—government officials, development partners, demining operators, diplomats, educators, religious leaders, and survivors—demonstrating the collective commitment to mine action.
In her remarks, ARMAC Executive Director Ms. Rothna Buth reaffirmed our commitment to supporting Cambodia and ASEAN in advancing mine action through regional cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and capacity development. We commend CMAA for its leadership and extend our gratitude to all partners working toward a safer and more inclusive future for affected communities.
As Cambodia moves closer to its mine-free goal, ARMAC remains dedicated to fostering collaboration and innovation to ensure lasting impact across the region.
Once again, congratulations to Cambodia on this significant occasion!
