Japan’s International Cooperation Agency (JICA) hosted the Ukraine Mine Action Conference in Tokyo on October 22‑23, marking the first conference held outside Europe. The event highlighted JICA’s ongoing support for Ukraine’s mine‑clearing efforts, including the delivery of 54 ALIS mine detectors and 22 de‑mining machines, and training for Ukrainian Security Emergency Service (SESU) personnel. The ALIS device, developed by a Japanese company and showcased by a Ukrainian deminer, combines metal detection with imaging to identify buried mines more accurately than traditional detectors. JICA also referenced its long‑standing cooperation with Cambodia’s Mine Action Center, where the technology and training programs have expanded mine‑clearance capacity 28‑fold. The conference underscored Japan’s “Ukraine Mine Action Support Initiative” with pillars of human‑resource strengthening, recovery integration, and partnership diversification.
