        Japan’s foreign minister on Saturday announced a joint project with Cambodia to share knowledge and technology on land mine removal</a> with countries around the world, including Ukraine.
        
        Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa made comments during a visit to the Cambodian Mine Action Center, which was formed in the 1990s at the end of the Southeast Asian nation’s decades of civil war. It seeks to deal with an estimated 4 million to 6 million land mines and other unexploded munitions left strewn around the countryside.
        
        "Cambodia, which has steadily advanced mine removal within its own country, is now a leader in mine action around the world," she noted, adding that Japan has consistently cooperated in Cambodia’s mine removal since the civil war.
