QNET is proud to serve as the Diamond Sponsor of the Siem Reap-Angkor Summit on a Mine-Free World<\/a>, a global event that underscores the urgent need to eradicate landmines and their devastating impact on communities. Through this important event,  QNET joins hands with Cambodia and the international community to take a firm stand against the legacy of conflict, advocating for a mine-free Cambodia and mine-free world while fostering hope for affected communities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Fight Against Landmines: A Global Perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ottawa Convention<\/a>, formally known as the “Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production, and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction,” is the cornerstone of the global movement to eliminate landmines. Adopted in 1997, the treaty has been ratified by 164 countries, including Cambodia, which has been at the forefront of advocating for mine clearance and victim assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these efforts, the challenge remains daunting. Millions of landmines still threaten lives in conflict-affected regions worldwide. The leadership of Cambodia, which chairs the 2024 Ottawa Convention Review Conference, is instrumental in keeping this issue on the global agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>A Powerful Call to Action Through the Cambodia Anti-Mining March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Participants<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cambodia hosted the March for a Mine-Free World on 24 November 2024, as a key part of the Siem Reap-Angkor Summit on a Mine-Free World<\/em>. The march brought together over 3,000 participants from around the globe, including representatives of 164 state parties, non-state actors, and local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four-kilometre march, starting at the iconic Angkor Wat Temple and concluding at the historic Elephant Terrace, served as a poignant reminder of the enduring harm caused by landmines. It was also a call to action, urging the international community to strengthen its commitment to eradicating these dangerous remnants of conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>QNET\u2019s Longstanding Commitment to Cambodia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

QNET has been committed to supporting communities in Cambodia since 2016 through our RYTHM Foundation. From partnering with the Cambodian Red Cross for disaster relief to sponsoring educational programs for underprivileged students, we\u2019ve consistently worked to uplift those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landmines represent a significant barrier to progress in Cambodia. They not only endanger lives but also render vast areas of land unusable for agriculture and infrastructure development. QNET\u2019s participation in the Siem Reap-Angkor Summit underscores our commitment to addressing these challenges. For QNET, this event is not just about sponsorship but also about contributing to tangible change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
