On the occasion of this declaration, the Government of Spain warmly congratulates the people and authorities of Mozambique on this achievement following more than 20 years engaged in this task.

The civil war in Mozambique left many areas littered with landmines, which led to thousands of deaths and mutilations that continued for many years after the war ended.

The Government of Spain reiterates its commitment to a world free from landmines, as demonstrated by Spain´s contribution to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Assistance in Mine Action, which has amounted to more than 10 million euros over the last four years.
