The spokeswoman claimed that the US collaborates with other nations to facilitate the eradication of conventional weapons. For the past 30 years, Cambodia has received assistance with such initiatives, such as clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO).
She stated that the US has contributed more than $190 million to these initiatives since 1993, making it “the greatest donor” and “helping promote safety and security for all Cambodians.”
She added, “US support to conventional weapons elimination includes a capacity development initiative to help appropriate Cambodian authorities to identify and get rid of redundant and inoperable ammunition in its national stockpile.
