Hong Kong action movie star Jackie Chan will make a second visit to Cambodia from this Wednesday to Friday as a goodwill Ambassador for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the UN Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).

Chan, popularly known in Cambodia as "Chin Long", will visit school and community education projects in Battambang province, focused on removing unexploded landmines , UNICEF said in a press release on Monday.

He will also have an audience with Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni.

Chan made his first goodwill mission to Cambodia in April 2004, when he joined other global celebrities as goodwill Ambassador.

Although the number of deaths and injuries due to landmine and UXO accidents has fallen substantially in Cambodia in recent years, 4,194 people were reportedly killed or injured by them between 2000 and 2004.
