Strengthening Regional Mine Action Collaboration in Laos
On 22 August 2024, ARMAC led by Executive Director Ms. Rothna Buth, in partnership with the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA), continued their regional tour with an insightful visit to Laos. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Mr. Bounpheng Sisawath, Acting Director General of the National Regulatory Authority for the UXO/Mine Action Sector in the Lao PDR (NRA).
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.
