in alignment with national needs and priorities, coordinates
inter-agency efforts for the safe clearance of mines from
de-occupied and war-affected regions, continues to conduct
research, clears mines from territories, and transfers them to end
users, while also communicating Azerbaijan's mine issue to the
global community and enhancing mutually beneficial collaboration
with international and donor organizations to combat the mine
threat.
