The government will for the second time push the House of Representatives to endorse the ASEAN agreement on haze pollution, an official said on Thursday.
Indonesia is the only country in Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) that had not endorsed the agreement aimed to cut forest fires and combat haze pollution.
“From the government side, there has been agreement to ratify it,” Environmental Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta told The Jakarta Post from Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
“But, it might still take time because it depends on the process in the House.”
Gusti was in Kuching, Malaysia, on Thursday to attend a two-day ministerial meeting on haze to converse actions on expected land and forest fires on upcoming dry season.
