Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore have discussed ways to reduce the risk of haze, which has affected the three countries in past weeks.
The discussion was conducted in an informal meeting initiated by Malaysia on the sidelines of the 46th Asean Foreign Ministers Meeting in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, yesterday.
Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman attended the meeting with his counterparts from Indonesia and Singapore, Dr R.M. Marty M. Natalegawa and K. Shanmugam.
The Asean-Malaysia National Secretariat of the Foreign Affairs Ministry said the three ministers discussed ways to reduce the haze, including the quick ratification and execution of the Asean Transboundary Haze Pollution Agreement.
"The ministers had a frank discussion on the recent problem caused by the haze that affected many parts of Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore," it said.
During the meeting, the ministers noted the improving situation in Sumatra, whereby the hot spots had been reduced from 16,500ha to 4,081ha.
They said that as of last week, the number of hot spots had dropped to seven from 261 because of cloud- seeding and water-bombing.
