Attendance at 'Lend Your Leg' Event.
April 4, 2018: His Excellency Ambassador Dr. Bashir Mohabat had the pleasure attending the ‘Lend Your Leg’ with Her Excellency Ms. Simona Leskovar of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Tokyo and His Excellency and Plenipotentiary Mr. Gabriel Duque of the Embassy of Colombia in Japan. This event was held at the Embassy of Colombia in Japan and co-hosted by the Embassy of Slovenia Tokyo and the Embassy of Colombia in Japan. ‘Lend Your Leg’ brought awareness of the presence of land mines and casualties of land mines across the globe.
Afghanistan is one of the countries most effected by landmines. Since 1989, 79% of Afghan land contaminated by landmines have been deactivated by Afghan de-mining efforts which is supported by the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS). Current estimates project Afghanistan to be mine-free by 2023. UNMAS has declared April 4th to be International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action to recognize this global issue.
