NPA has supported TMAC since 2009 with technical advice on strategic planning, national mine action standards, information management and land release, and is currently the only international NGO working on mine action in Thailand. The present programme is funded by the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Director General of TMAC, Lt.Gen. Krisda Norapoompipat, gave a presentation on the current situation and future challenges for mine action in Thailand. Ambassador Paulsen said that the Norwegian government is pleased to support this important work to improve the livelihood and security of people living in affected areas.
