In a view to help Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) be prepared for the bid of a new US world-class demining project next year, the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, on Wednesday, sent a letter to CMAC telling them that the US Government would provide funding to CMAC for the first two months in 2018.
According to Mr. Heng Ratana, CMAC's Director General, the US funding would help the Cambodian government to lighten its heavy financial burden regarding different developments in the country, including landmine clearance.
To Mr. Ratana, the funding expressed the US strong commitment and goodwill to help Cambodian people clear landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) left from the Vietnam War.
"I think the US Government and the Royal Government of Cambodia still play a very important role in solving this problem [demining]. To this funding, I would like to say many thanks to the US Government and the American people. In response, CMAC's task forces would continue to do their best to deal with this unfortunate legacy," Mr. Ratana wrote on his Facebook page.
