A speaker in the meeting transcript credited United Nations—fforts with helping Cambodia move from a recipient of mine-action assistance to a provider.
Commenter, identified only as "Commenter" in the transcript, said, "Peacekeeping had a tremendous success in Cambodia." The speaker credited that success to a combination of a strong U.N.-led mission, multiple partners and an implemented peace agreement.
The speaker highlighted mine action as a specific area of transition, saying, "there is a special area in which Cambodia has transitioned from, being a recipient to being a provider, and that is mine action where the expertise of Cambodian entities and Cambodian experts are extremely high, and now it's serving other people." The remarks attribute Cambodia—s post-conflict development and current role in demining to capacity built during the peacekeeping mission.
