At the meeting, Prayut proposed the Clear Sky Strategy as an effective mechanism to address the issue.
Under the strategy, each country should be committed to reducing hotspots in line with the Chiang Rai Plan of Action adopted by five countries in the Mekong Sub-region in 2017.
As part of Thailand’s role, it will promote cooperation in transboundary haze pollution through relevant bilateral mechanisms at local levels with Laos and Myanmar, he noted.
Air pollution in northern Thailand has lasted many days, causing concern for both local residents and visitors.
