The Stimson Center invites you to join a public discussion on war legacy issues in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. The discussion will explore progress to date in addressing the ongoing problem of unexploded ordinance and Agent Orange and explore ways that the US government and other stakeholders can be more involved. 

Vietnam’s Ambassador to the United States Ha Kim Ngoc will provide keynote remarks on war legacy issues from the Vietnam War and their continuing and tragic impacts on the people of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam today. Following Ambassador Ngoc’s remarks, Chuck Searcy from Project RENEW, Jamie Franklin from the Mines Advisory Group, Channapha Khamvongsa from Legacies of War, and Patricia Sheik from Roots of Peace will explore progress to date on war legacy issues in the region and discuss the need for further US engagement. War Legacies’ Susan Hammond will moderate.
