OAS Receives Vehicles Donated by Japan to Support Humanitarian De-Mining Efforts in Colombia
March 19, 2013
The Organization of American States (OAS) today received from the Japanese government a donation of two vehicles to support the humanitarian de-mining program of the hemispheric organization in Colombia.
The two Toyota Hilux 4X4 vehicles were delivered by the Japanese Embassy in Bogota during a ceremony held at the premises of the School of Military Engineers of Colombia, attended by the Ambassador of Japan, Kazuo Watanabe; the Director of Program of the Presidency of Colombia for Comprehensive Action against Antipersonnel Mines in Colombia (PAICMA), Daniel Ávila; the Inspector General of the Colombian Armed Forces, Admiral Jairo Peña; and the General Coordinator of the OAS program for Comprehensive Action against Antipersonnel Mines (AICMA-OAS), Carl Case.
The vehicles, valued at some $90,000, will go to the Departments of Antioquia and Bolivar, with the aim of supporting the External Monitoring Component of the program in areas where humanitarian de-mining operations are carried out.
Among its priority activities, the OAS program performs quality assurance and control operations for organizations that carry out humanitarian de-mining organizations in Colombia (Demining Battalion No. 60 of the Armed Forces and civilian organizations such as HALO Trust) in the villages of the departments of Antioquia and Bolivar.
