During a meeting with the Laotian ambassador in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Senior Minister Ly Thuch formally extended an invitation to Laos to join the Ottawa Convention, also known as the Mine Ban Treaty. This invitation coincides with Cambodia's upcoming chairmanship of the 5th Review Conference of the Mine Ban Treaty, the Siem Reap Angkor Summit on a Mine-Free World, scheduled for November-December 2024.
Cambodia, as the conference host, expressed its willingness to mobilize resources and collaborate with development partners and donors to support Laos' mine clearance efforts once it joins the treaty. This offer highlights Cambodia's commitment to fostering regional cooperation and advancing the global goal of a mine-free world.
Ambassador Buakeo Phumvongsay acknowledged the significant international event and stated his intention to present the invitation to the Laotian government for consideration. The conference's anticipated international reach underscores its potential to generate awareness and support for mine clearance initiatives in Laos and other affected nations.
