  Up to now, the Chinese peacekeepers have removed more than 21,000 pieces of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from over 200,000 square meters of minefields in countries including Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Liberia, assisting local peoples in getting rid of mine hazards. Since 1998, China has provided equipment for mine detection and clearance, as well as humanitarian aid for more than 40 countries. We have also implemented the Action for a Mine-Free Africa multiple times and provided assistance to Southeast Asian countries for mine action. For instance, we helped Cambodia destroy 105,000 pieces of landmines and UXO and clean 188.8 square kilometers of land. China will stay committed to the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, implement the Global Security Initiative, and continue to mitigate civilian casualties caused by landmines, so as to build a mine-free world at an early date.
