I'm writing to suggest your country sign on the agreement.1．Landmines kill or badly injure around 26 000 people every year. There are about 100 million landmines buried just beneath the surface of the ground in 60 countries. Among the most contaminated countries are Iraq，Cambodia，Afghanistan，Colombia，and Angola. I think this is one reason why people in these countries hate the US so much.2．Producing one landmine costs $3，yet once in the ground it can cost more than $1000 to find and destroy，according to the ICBL. So stop manufacturing landmines and spend more money on finding solutions to clearing the landmines. As you know，your country has designed the most advanced robots. Why not use your advanced technology and spend more money on designing some robots to clear the landmines. If so，it will benefit the whole world. People all over the world will think highly of you and your country. You and your country will become more influential.Japan has set a good example. They have developed robots that can be used to clear landmines. I hope your government will follow Japan's example.Thank you for reading the letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions.
