Vietnam is currently formulating a project to shorten the UXO clearance timeline to 35–40 years, aiming to render contaminated land safe to a depth of 0.5 metres by 2065. To support this, it is drafting a new ordinance on post-war UXO remediation and a national strategy on mine risk education.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are committed to support the Government of Vietnam in realising the goal to tackle UXO pollution nationwide.

A delegation from the Vietnam National Mine Action Centre (VNMAC) and HALO Trust of the United Kingdom held a working session with the People's Committee of northern border Lang Son province on coordination in overcoming the consequences of bombs, landmines and unexploded ordnances in the locality.

The consequence of bombs, mines and toxic chemicals left by war in Vietnam is an urgent issue that has been threatening people's lives and causing a serious effect on the country’s sustainable development goals, a senior official has said.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc urged the southern province of Dong Nai to make every effort to complete site clearance for the construction of Long Thanh International Airport at an online meeting in Hanoi on April 8.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) will offer 20 million USD in non-refundable aid to the Vietnam National Mine Action Centre (VNMAC) for post-war bomb and landmine recovery efforts.
