Haze problem best resolved through Asean diplomatic channels, says Mohamad
Foreign minister says the natural resources and environmental sustainability ministry will submit an official letter to the Asean Secretariat in due course.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan asserted that the transboundary haze plaguing Malaysia and neighboring countries is most effectively addressed through Asean diplomatic channels. The NRES ministry plans to send an official letter to the Asean Secretariat. Mohamad emphasized the significance of Asean as the optimal platform for tackling issues among member states, deeming it a more efficient approach than other methods.
The foreign minister is currently on a three-day visit to Brunei. The haze issue is anticipated to be among the topics discussed by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah during today's 27th Malaysia-Brunei Annual Leaders' Consultation. Currently, 10 monitoring stations in Sarawak have reached unhealthy levels, with API readings indicating severe air pollution in areas such as Serian, Kuching, and Mukah.
