Cooperation between Azerbaijan and Cambodia is deepening in the field of mine action, as a delegation from the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA), led by Chairman Vugar Suleymanov, visited Cambodia recently. During the visit, the ANAMA delegation held meetings with key officials from the Cambodian Mine Action and Assistance Agency (CMAA) and the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) to discuss the exchange of expertise, methodologies, and opportunities for further collaboration in demining efforts.

Discussions with Cambodian counterparts, including Vice President Prum Sophakmokol and Executive Director Ly Panharith of CMAA, focused on the extensive mine threats both countries face and how they can work together to address these challenges. The delegation also visited Cambodia’s most mine-contaminated region, Siem Reap, to observe demining operations firsthand, including the use of mine detection dogs and rats.

This cooperation marks a significant step forward in Azerbaijan’s efforts to enhance its demining capabilities by learning from Cambodia’s long-standing experience in dealing with explosive remnants of war.
