China, Russia to sign SEANWFZ treaty, US reviewing: Mohamad

KUALA LUMPUR: China and Russia have agreed to become signatories to the South-East Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ), while the United States is currently reviewing the treaty before signing, Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan (pic) said. He said the involvement of superpowers in the treaty would help preserve South-East Asia as a region of peace, free of nuclear weapons. "We have established South-East Asia as a peaceful region and next week, the foreign ministers (of relevant countries) will meet,' he said at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's engagement session with the Malaysian diaspora in Italy held in Rome on Tuesday (July 1). The session was held in conjunction with the prime minister's three-day working visit to Italy. A video recording of the session was shared with Bernama on Wednesday. SEANWFZ, also known as the Bangkok Treaty, was signed in December 1995 in Bangkok by ten Asean member countries. It came into effect in March 1997. The protocol of the treaty commits Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) to respect SEANWFZ and not contribute to any act that violates the treaty and its protocols; to not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against states in the zone; and to not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons within the zone. Malaysia will host the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (58th AMM) and Related Meetings, which will take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from July 8 to 11. Malaysia took over the Asean Chairmanship on January 1, 2025, from Laos with the theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability', reflecting the country's commitment to fostering a united and prosperous Asean. This is Malaysia's fifth Asean Chairmanship after having assumed the role in 1977, 1997, 2005, and 2015. - Bernama

Over 5,000 police personnel on duty for Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting from July 8 to 11

KUALA LUMPUR: The police have deployed 5,121 personnel to ensure the smooth and safe organisation of the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and Related Meetings to be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from July 8 to 11. Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department (KDNKA) director Datuk Seri Azmi Abu Kassim said the PDRM had drawn up a detailed security plan and would be carrying out continuous monitoring to ensure the meeting ran smoothly and in an orderly manner. "The police has taken appropriate measures to ensure high preparedness ahead of this meeting, and the main focus is on the security of VIPs, traffic control and handling emergencies. "This team will also use sophisticated technology such as facial recognition systems and explosives detection to ensure the event runs smoothly," he told Bernama here Thursday (July 3). Azmi said police would combine the forces of various departments and units, including the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK), Management Department, Federal Reserve Force, Special Operations Unit (UTK), 69 Commando and Special Branch. He stated that, apart from the main meeting location, security controls were also extended to other important areas, including Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Subang Airport. "Security control will also be implemented at the delegates' accommodation locations and certain zones around the delegation arrival area, which will be gazetted as restricted or semi-restricted areas with limited access given to certain individuals only," he said. Azmi said that to ensure everything runs smoothly, a series of security training and simulations were conducted to strengthen internal and inter-government coordination. According to him, the security training and simulations involved convoy movement training and testing of security systems, such as scanners and e-gates, at the conference location and the delegation's accommodation hotel. – Bernama
