China began a mission in southwest China's Yunnan Province on the border with Vietnam on Tuesday to remove more than 470,000 mines before the end of 2017.

The mission is aimed at ensuring residents' safety and opening up more border areas.

People's Liberation Army soldiers from the Chengdu Military Area Command will remove mines that remain buried in mountainous areas and dense forests in the border areas, which are home to about 50,000 people.
