Phnom Penh: JMAS (Japan Mine Action Service) and the Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA) have joined hands in a cooperative effort to support demining and development initiatives in Malai district, Banteay Meanchey province, and the clearance of cluster munitions in Stung Treng province.

The agreement for this collaborative effort was signed on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at the CMAC (Cambodian Mine Action Centre) Headquarters. Mr. Heng Ratana, President of the Cambodian Mine Action Authority, and Mr. KARUBE Masakazu, President of JMAS Cambodia, formalized the partnership.
