Cambodia is making good progress towards achieving its self-imposed mine-free goal by 2025, the country’s Prime Minister, Hun Manet, said on Monday.
“So far, 13 out of 25 provinces in Cambodia have been declared mine-free, and we are on track to achieving our mine-free target by 2025,” he said in a speech during the declaration of Kampong Speu province as the 13th mine-free province.
Twelve other mine-free provinces are capital Phnom Penh, Stung Treng, Kep, Prey Veng, Preah Sihanouk, Tbong Khmum, Kampong Cham, Svay Rieng, Kampong Chhnang, Kandal, Takeo and Kampot.—Xinhua
