Malaysia strengthens ASEAN ties ahead of 58th AMM in Kuala Lumpur
The talks focused on aligning agendas, finalising joint documents, and ensuring seamless logistical arrangements.
The meetings aimed to enhance coordination among ASEAN member states on key regional issues before ministerial-level discussions commence.
Amran first met with Laos Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Phongsavanh Sisoulath, followed by Alternate SOM Leader ASEAN-Philippines Ana Marie L. Hernando.
The 58th AMM, under Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability,' will include 24 ministerial-level meetings with ASEAN Dialogue Partners and Sectoral Dialogue Partners.
Scheduled from July 8 to 11, the event is expected to host around 1,500 delegates, including foreign ministers from ASEAN states, Timor-Leste, and senior officials from the ASEAN Secretariat.
Malaysia is hosting the AMM for the fifth time, having previously chaired ASEAN in 1977, 1997, 2005, and 2015. – Bernama

Thailand rejects international mediation to end fighting with Cambodia
BANGKOK: Thailand has rejected mediation efforts from third countries to end its ongoing conflict with Cambodia, insisting that Phnom Penh cease attacks and resolve the situation only through bilateral talks, its foreign ministry said today. Simmering border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have flared into open hostilities at multiple locations along the frontline, with exchanges of artillery for a second straight day. At least 16 people, most of them Thai civilians, have died so far in the heaviest fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbours in over a decade. The United States, China and Malaysia, which is the current chair of the Asean regional bloc, have offered to facilitate dialogue but Bangkok is seeking a bilateral solution to the conflict, Thai foreign ministry spokesperson Nikorndej Balankura told Reuters. "I don't think we need any mediation from a third country yet," Nikorndej said in an interview. Cambodia and Thailand accuse each other of starting the conflict early on Thursday at a disputed site, which quickly escalated from small arms fire to heavy shelling along a border where sovereignty has been disputed for more than a century. "We stand by our position that bilateral mechanism is the best way out, this is a confrontation between the two countries," Nikorndej said, adding that the Cambodian side must stop violence along the border first. "Our doors are still open." Cambodia's government did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its Prime Minister Hun Manet asked the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to convene a meeting on the issue, condemning what he called "unprovoked and premeditated military aggression" by Thailand. The body has said it will hold a closed-door meeting to discuss the issue today. The fighting broke out a day after Thailand recalled its ambassador to Phnom Penh on Wednesday and expelled Cambodia's envoy, in response to landmine explosions that injured Thai soldiers. Thai authorities allege the mines had been laid recently by Cambodia, a charge dismissed by Phnom Penh as baseless. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the chair of 10-nation Asean of which both Thailand and Cambodia are members, said on Thursday he had spoken to the leaders of both countries and urged them to find a peaceful resolution. "If the Asean family wants to facilitate a return to constructive bilateral negotiations, that's welcome as well," Nikorndej said.

Over 100,000 flee Thailand-Cambodia border clashes as fighting escalates
SURIN: More than 100,000 civilians have fled escalating border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, marking the deadliest fighting in a decade. The Thai government confirmed the displacement as the death toll rose to 15, with 46 wounded. The conflict erupted on Thursday with heavy artillery, tanks, and aerial strikes, prompting the UN Security Council to schedule an emergency meeting. Thai authorities reported that over 100,000 residents from four border provinces sought refuge in nearly 300 temporary shelters. Cambodian forces resumed attacks early Friday, using heavy weapons and rocket systems, according to the Thai army. Thai troops retaliated with 'appropriate supporting fire.' Witnesses in Cambodia's Samraong town reported hearing artillery fire as families evacuated. 'I live very close to the border. We are scared because they began shooting again at about 6:00 am,' said Pro Bak, 41, who fled with his family to a Buddhist temple. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of ASEAN, called for a ceasefire after talks with both nations. 'I welcome the positive signals and willingness shown by both Bangkok and Phnom Penh to consider this path forward,' he said. Despite diplomatic efforts, clashes resumed Friday morning, with Cambodia accusing Thailand of aggression. The dispute stems from contested border areas, reignited in May when a Cambodian soldier was killed. The UN Security Council will meet following Cambodia's request, as international powers urge de-escalation. The US, France, EU, and China expressed concern, calling for dialogue. - AFP

Asean has differing net zero objectives
Published on: Friday, July 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 25, 2025 Text Size: According to Dr Zulfikar Yurnaidi, although Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia and Vietnam have their Net Zero target by 2050, the Philippines has no specific Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality target. KUCHING: Asean Centre for Energy – Head of Energy Modelling and Policy Planning Department, Dr Zulfikar Yurnaidi said the 10 Asean countries have different Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality goals at the International Energy Week (IEW) 2025, held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) on July 15-17, 2025 dubbed 'Borneo's Biggest International Energy Expo & Summit'. Asean, as one of the region's most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, is actively working to contribute to global commitments which are required to develop and implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). As Malaysia is the Asean chair this year, can Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim convince all the ten countries to make uniform their Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality goals. According to Dr Zulfikar Yurnaidi, although Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia and Vietnam have their Net Zero target by 2050, the Philippines has no specific Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality target. Meanwhile, Indonesia has its Net Zero target by 2060 or sooner, Thailand has set its Carbon neutrality by 2050 and Net Zero target by 2065. Lao PDR has set its Net Zero target by 2050 conditionally, and Myanmar has determined its Net Zero target only from forestry and other land use by 2040. The data indicates that 77 per cent of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in Asean are primarily generated from the energy, industrial processes, and land use, including land-use change and forestry. With the energy sector being the target contributor to CO2 emissions. The energy and climate sectors are inextricably linked and mutually dependent and integrating this energy-climate nexus is vital for enhancing long-term energy security, affordability, accessibility, and sustainability. Asean's pursuit of Net Zero is a crucial effort that will shape the region's future. In the short term, progress is likely to come from energy efficiency improvements, the adoption of renewable technologies, increased use of biofuels, methane abatement, and transitioning from more polluting fossil fuels to natural gas. 'When anything changes the amount of carbon in one reservoir, the effect ripples through the others.' Looking ahead, Asean has significant opportunities in carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), further expansion of renewable energy, and deeper integration of biofuels. These strategies will be essential to achieving the net-zero goals of Asean countries. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
