KUCHING: Malaysia and Indonesia have reached a deal to work together in addressing transboundary haze that has impacted air quality across several nations in the region. This collaboration was discussed between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto during Anwar's visit to New Delhi, India.
Speaking to reporters after the official transfer of Bintulu Port from federal to state control in Sarawak, Anwar mentioned the agreement to reduce the effects of transboundary haze. However, he did not provide additional details, stating he had to rush to celebrate Malaysia Day at the Borneo Kuching Convention Centre. The transfer of Bintulu Port, which occurred on September 1 following a RM1.8 billion payment to the federal government in June, is the latest step in implementing the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and demonstrates cooperation between the federal government and Sarawak.
