Thailand continues to seek cooperation from other countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) as it attempts to tackle cross-border haze pollution, the Pollution Control Department (PCD) said yesterday.
PCD director-general Pinsak Suraswadi revealed that further cooperation in controlling the haze pollution in Thailand — which partially stems from haze coming from neighbouring countries — will be sought in fresh dialogue with other Asean nations.
“The talks will be conducted under an existing Asean agreement on air pollution involving cross-border haze,” Mr Pinsak said.
“Recently, on Jan 27, Asean had — under this specific agreement — raised the cross-border haze pollution to Level 2 and had accordingly notified all Asean members.”
