Vietnam targets to remove unexploded ordnance (UXO) from 75,000 hectares of land annually to soon clear 5.6 million hectares of contaminated land.

 

"For the 2021-2025 period, we will drastically direct the process of demining to achieve the target of screening 500,000 hectares (1.24 million acres) and cleaning around 75,000 hectares per year," said Deputy Minister of National Defense Hoang Xuan Chien.

 

The new targets are 50 percent higher than previously, he told a Thursday meeting in Hanoi to conclude the National Action Program for Overcoming the Impact of Post-War Bombs and Mines.
