Indonesia and Singapore Strengthen Cooperation to Tackle Cross-Border Haze
Published
Singapore stresses that cooperation with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia is crucial to addressing the long-standing problem of cross-border haze. The issue remains a focus of attention because smoke from land and forest fires can spread to other countries in the region.
For Indonesia, haze is a very real problem. Land fires, especially during the dry season, often produce thick smoke that disrupts air quality, public health, and daily activities. The smoke can also reach Singapore and Malaysia, making this problem a shared responsibility.
To face this situation, both countries are considered to need to continue strengthening coordination, including in information exchange, monitoring of hotspots, and efforts to prevent fires. Regional cooperation is also seen as important so that the measures taken are more effective.
Ultimately, handling haze requires long-term commitment from all parties. With sustained cooperation, the impact of haze on communities in the region is expected to be reduced.
