(Khmer Times) Japan’s assistance to Cambodia in the decade’s long battle to clear vast areas of landmines in the country would perhaps be close to taking yet another step forward, going by the words of Japan’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hayashi Yoshimasa.
According to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Cambodia, a conversation to that effect took place last week between Hayashi and Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cambodia, Prak Sokhonn. The Japanese minister expressed his country’s interest in providing further assistance to Cambodia for the clearance of landmines.
