58th AMM: SEANWFZ Committee Meets Ahead Commission Meeting
By Ahmad Erwan Othman and Ahmad Aidil Syukri Hamzah KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- The Executive Committee of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Commission (SEANWFZ EXCOM) convened here on Monday to finalise key preparatory work for the SEANWFZ Commission Meeting to be held tomorrow at the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings. Chaired by Foreign Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Amran Mohamed Zin, the session focused on reviewing progress in implementing the SEANWFZ Treaty's Plan of Action. Also discussed were the potential accession of Timor-Leste to the Treaty and the long-standing issue of securing the accession of the Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) to the Treaty's Protocol. 'Timor-Leste's participation will widen the geographical scope for the Treaty. 'This is one positive aspect from the participation of Timor-Leste as a new member in ASEAN,' he told reporters after the meeting at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The meeting was attended by senior officials from all 10 ASEAN member states, while an official from Timor-Leste participated as an observer. Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan is scheduled to chair the SEANWFZ Commission meeting at 3.15 pm tomorrow. The SEANWFZ Treaty, also known as the Bangkok Treaty, was signed in December 1995 in Bangkok by ASEAN member states as a commitment to preserve Southeast Asia as a region free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.

AMM: Malaysia Has Opportunity To Break SEANWFZ Deadlock, Garner Nuclear-Armed States' Support -- Analysts
By Ahmad Aidil Syukri Hamzah KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's position as ASEAN Chair in 2025 presents a strategic opportunity to reshape the regional security landscape, particularly in ensuring the region remains free of nuclear weapons. This comes in the wake of Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan's recent statement that China and Russia have agreed to sign the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ), while the United States is currently reviewing the possibility of becoming a signatory. Associate Professor Dr Mazlan Ali of the Perdana Centre, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, described the development as a breakthrough, ending nearly two decades of stalemate in efforts to get all five states recognised under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) to become signatories. Speaking to Bernama, he said that if all the five states agreed to sign SEANWFZ, it would mark not only a success for ASEAN, but a symbol of Malaysia's respected diplomatic leadership. 'Malaysia has the chance to emerge as a successful facilitator on a critically important global security issue. No ASEAN country has ever achieved such a feat, and it would significantly enhance Malaysia's influence in both regional and global dialogues on disarmament and peace diplomacy,' he said. 'To date, no nuclear-weapon state has signed the SEANWFZ Protocol. Countries such as China, the United States, France, Russia, and the United Kingdom – the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – have yet to sign it,' he added. Tomorrow, the Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Commission (SEANWFZ ExCom) is scheduled to take place alongside the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, which will also be attended by the US, Russia, the UK and China. Mazlan said that successfully securing support from these nations would become a major legacy of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's leadership, who is currently seen as a vocal advocate for the Global South on international issues.
