During the visit, the delegation had the opportunity to exchange valuable experiences with the Lao PDR National Regulatory Authority, gaining a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and successes in Lao’s mine action efforts. The visit included a comprehensive overview of NRA’s operations and a tour of the national UXO training center, providing firsthand insights into the rigorous training and preparedness activities underway in the country.

This visit, following our fruitful discussions in Thailand, is a testament to our commitment to fostering international cooperation in mine action. It highlights the importance of sharing best practices and uniting our efforts to create a safer, mine-free world.

Together, we continue to build a strong regional network dedicated to overcoming the legacies of unexploded ordnance and advancing peace and security in Southeast Asia.
