(Vietnam Plus) Quang Tri (VNA) – A total of 34 foreign non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and 23 international organisations are taking part in the settlement of post-war bomb and landmine consequences in the central province of Quang Tri, the most severely contaminated locality in Vietnam.
According to Nguyen Trieu Thuong, Director of the provincial Department for Foreign Affairs, since 2020, there have been 122 NGO-funded programmes and projects in the field launched in the province. Their costs totaled more than 59 million USD.
She named a number of active organisations such as Peace Trees Vietnam (PTVN), Mines Advisory Group (MAG), Clear Path International (CPI), and Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA).
Their assistance helped revive many local places once severely contaminated by bombs and mines, she said.
