China attaches great importance to the humanitarian concerns caused by landmines and has actively participated in the international de-mining assistance in recent years. Since 1998, China has provided de-mining assistance to more than 10 countries in Asia and Africa through financial donation, providing de-mining equipment and hosting de-mining technology training courses. It has been proved that the Chinese de-mining technology is safe and mature and its equipment reliable and cost-effective. This has been positively acknowledged by recipient countries. China has in recent years hosted a number of international de-mining training courses for developing countries to train their de-mining personnel. From October to December 2007, China hosted a de-mining training course for Angola, Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Burundi, and donated de-mining equipment to the five countries.

China will continue to actively participate in the international humanitarian de-mining efforts and work with other countries to make its due contribution to eliminating the problems caused by landmines at an early date.
