Hanoi (VNA) – The headquarters of the Vietnam National Mine Action Centre (VNMAC) was inaugurated in Thach That district of Hanoi on October 20.
Covering 52,400 square metres in Thach Hoa commune, the headquarters was built at a cost of more than 415 billion VND (18.6 million USD). It includes many facilities such as a commanding office, an exhibition hall of post-war bomb and mine consequences, and accommodation for specialists.
In March 2014, the Prime Minister decided to set up the VNMAC amid the urgent demand for addressing unexploded ordnance (UXO) impacts, according to Defence Minister Ngo Xuan Lich, who is also the standing deputy head of the State Steering Committee for the national action programme on settling post-war bomb and mine consequences (Programme 504).
