The Ministry of Health has deployed additional staff and stockpiled medical supplies to strengthen more than 120 health centres along the border. The beefed up clinics and centres aim to assist local citizens — as well as military personnel — along the Cambodia–Thailand border, following the recent resumption of border clashes.

And more importantly, who is setting its tone for international diplomacy — protest mobs, spokesmen or the Prime…

The $1.5 trillion annual investment gap required to achieve the SDGs isn’t just a number, it’s a call to action. Traditional “business-as-usual” approaches are no longer sufficient. What we need is a paradigm shift driven by collaboration, decisive action and collective leadership from the private sector. Asia and the Pacific, which contributes over 60 per cent of global GDP, holds both immense potential and deeply entrenched challenges. More than 400 million people still live in poverty. Inequitable resource distribution,…
