Israeli companies specializing in mine-clearance technologies could become involved in Azerbaijan’s humanitarian demining efforts, Israeli Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ronen Krausz said, highlighting the potential role of artificial intelligence, drones and advanced equipment in accelerating clearance operations. Speaking to AzerNEWS on the sidelines of the 4th International Mine Action Conference in Baku, Krausz praised the event organized by the Azerbaijan Mine Action Agency (ANAMA) and stressed the importance of clearing contaminated land to enable the safe return of residents to their homes. He noted that Israel has faced mine-contamination challenges both historically and in the present, giving it experience in combining field operations with technological solutions.
Krausz said Israeli companies operating in the field would be interested in demonstrating their capabilities in Azerbaijan, noting that several representatives of such companies were participating in the Baku conference. Asked whether Azerbaijan and Israel were conducting negotiations specifically on the exchange or use of demining technologies, Krausz pointed to the broader cooperation between the two countries while emphasizing the potential for closer engagement in mine action. Azerbaijan has made humanitarian demining a central component of reconstruction and the return of displaced residents to territories affected by decades of conflict.
The country has increasingly focused on the use of advanced technologies and international partnerships to accelerate the clearance of contaminated areas. Here we are to serve you with news right now. It does not cost much, but worth your attention.
