PeaceTrees Vietnam (PTVN) – the first US-based NGO permitted to work in Vietnam to address the dangers of wartime explosives – recently celebrated the 30th anniversary on the journey of its humanitarian mission clearing unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the heavily bombarded Quang Tri Province.

Three decades of joint efforts to address the lasting impacts of Agent Orange/dioxin and unexploded ordnance (UXO) have helped build trust and deepen Vietnam–US ties.

Efforts to address the consequences of unexploded ordnance (UXO) not only tackle the remnants of war but also pave the way for the revival of once-devastated land areas.

The Military Command of the northern province of Hoa Binh, on May 27, safely removed and detonated 244 unexploded bombs, mines, and other ordnance left over from wartime.

An MK82 bomb left from wartime was recently discovered by a resident in Thanh Hoa commune of Bu Dop district, the southern province of Binh Phuoc.

VOV.VN - A 1.4-meter-long wartime bomb weighing approximately 250 kilograms has been discovered in Khai Xuan commune, Phu Tho province.

VOV.VN - Approximately 1,000 mine clearance workers have temporarily stopped their operations in Quang Tri province, a former war-torn land in central Vietnam, following the suspension of most foreign aid by US President Donald Trump.

The military command of the northern province of Hoa Binh has safely removed and detonated 18 artillery shells left from the war. ​

Deputy Minister of National Defence Sen. Lieut. Gen. Hoang Xuan Chien has praised the progress and efforts of units involved in the dioxin remediation at Bien Hoa air base area project.

President of the Fifth Review Conference of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), also known as the Ottawa Convention, Ly Thuch on October 9 praised Vietnam's efforts in addressing consequences of unexploded ordnances (UXO), and the country’s achievements in cooperation with other countries and international organisations in this field.
