Phnom Penh, Apr 09, 2009 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) -- The Japanese government has granted 5.6 million USD to support mine-clearance activities in Cambodia, local media reported.

The agreement was signed early this week at Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) headquarters by CMAC Director General Heng Ratana and Project Manager Yukio Kohsaka, the Cambodian news agency (AKP) said.

The grant will be used to buy modern mine-clearance equipment, Heng Ratana said at the signing ceremony, adding that the new equipment will increase the de-mining activities, ensure de-miners safety and increase the work efficiency.
