HA NOI — The United States yesterday donated nearly US$1 million worth of equipment to locate and clear landmines and unexploded ordnance to the Centre for Bomb and Mine Disposal Technology (BOMICEN).

Since joining the US Government’s Humanitarian Mine Action Programme in 2000, Viet Nam has received over $37 million as mine action aid, with most of the funds supporting the work of various non-governmental organisations for mine and UXO surveys and clearance, mine risk education and assisting mine survivors.
