Asean leaders embark on roadmap to free region of haze by 2020
Wan Junaidi said that he was glad that the other Asean leaders have agreed to implement the Roadmap on Asean Cooperation towards Transboundary Haze Pollution Control with Means of Implementation in a meeting which was held here this morning.
“We adopted the roadmap to overcome haze by 2020. That is one concession that I appreciated. All ministers and Asean representatives have agreed with the adoption and have accepted this roadmap,” he said in a press conference after the meeting.
“The AMS (Asean states members) pledged to remain vigilant and continuously monitor and step up their haze preventive efforts... the Ministers underlined the need for AMS to place priority and commitment to resolve the haze problem within the expected targets and timelines.”
