A meeting of international mine experts in Bogotá will be held through Friday, after the United States, Norway and Colombia in February pledged to make this country land-mine free by 2021. Washington has earmarked $33 million for the “The Global Demining Initiative for Colombia,” through 2017, and Norway will be contributing $20 million to the project. The European Union and 22 other nations have also agreed to support the initiative.
