國際反地雷組織肯定金門排雷成果

Ms. Jacqueline Hansen, director of the "Landmine and Cluster (1) Munitions (2) Monitor" which belongs to the international anti-landmine organization, arrived in Kinmen on the 14th to observe and better understand the results of Kinmen's landmine elimination (3). She approved the de-mining results and felt that it was a big boost for the global anti-landmine movement. Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi met personally with Ms. Hansen, and invited her to the Republic of China's Centennial Carnival and Peace Bell Ringing Ceremony in Kinmen next year.
國際反地雷組織「地雷與集束彈藥監督」計畫主持人-賈桂琳‧韓森女士，14日來金了解金門地區清除地雷成效。她肯定金門排雷成果，認為是對全球反雷運動的一大鼓舞。縣長李沃士也當面邀請賈桂琳‧韓森女士明年再度來金參加建國一百年和平敲鐘儀式，傳遞和平的信念。

Accompanied by military authorities, Ms. Jacqueline Hansen proceeded towards An-Qi landmine zone (安岐雷區) in Jin-ning Township to examine the situation and the execution of de-mining work, listening to reports from Kinmen's de-mining team, observing equipment, and trying to understand the results of military de-mining efforts. She felt that the de-mining work, its plan and execution were carried out very cautiously and also had positive physical results. Areas that had already been de-mined were made "green" through forestation (4), which won the praise and admiration of the people. She felt that this was a significant boost for the de-mining movements across the globe. In the afternoon, Ms. Hansen turned towards the Jin-hu Township office for a visit to those who have suffered injuries from the mines, including Li, Xi-Sheng (李錫盛), Chen-Zhang, Li-Yu (陳張麗玉), etc. They called out loud that "We want shoes, not mines," to pledge (5) their determination in anti-mining efforts by a concrete course of action.
