Neighbours hold talks to address severe air pollution

PRIME Minister Sonexay Siphandone held talks online with his Thai and Myanmar counterparts, General Prayut Chan-o-cha and Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, in a joint effort to address transboundary haze pollution, which has risen to dangerous levels in many parts of the three neighbouring countries.

The Lao premier proposed that the three parties draw up a joint action plan to tackle cross-border air pollution, according to a press release from the Lao Prime Minister’s Office.
