The Government of Japan has officially announced a significant grant totaling nearly $700,000 to bolster cluster munition clearance efforts in Stung Treng province.

According to a press release from the Embassy of Japan in Cambodia dated February 4, 2026, this funding is specifically designated to address the lingering threat of unexploded ordnance that continues to impact local safety and development.

The grant agreement, amounting to $665,186, was signed during a ceremony presided over by His Excellency Ueno Atsushi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Cambodia, alongside representatives from the recipient institution.
