Trudeau pledges $1 million for clearing landmines, cluster bombs in Cambodia, Laos
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has wrapped up his first stop of a tour in Southeast Asia by announcing nearly $1 million to help remove unexploded landmines and cluster bombs from the region.
“When land is cleared, not only are people safer and children can play, but land can be used for farming and development,” Trudeau said at a roundtable with local groups focused on women in peace-building. Bill Morse, a former American soldier during the Vietnam War who helps with that group, said Trudeau’s announcement bucks a trend of people assuming that mines are no longer an issue.
He also met with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on the sidelines of the summit, with both praising ties forged by the country’s large diaspora in Canada. Later in the day, he said China’s mistreatment of the Uyghur minority may amount to genocide, but ongoing probes by international experts should make that distinction.
