But absent from the summit's final declaration was any plan to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Longtime opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin each said they could form a government with support from other parties.

Has Hong Kong become too reliant on the MTR? The question was raised by a lawmaker on a radio programme yesterday - one week after a partial train derailment severely disrupted train services. As Kelly Yu reports, the legislator and one of his colleagues also urged the rail operator to step up maintenance and risk management work:

US Vice President Kamala Harris says she told President Xi Jinping that Washington welcomes competition with China but does not see conflict, and does not seek confrontation. She said she also reiterated to Xi a message from President Joe Biden that his administration intends "to keep open lines of communication available because ... it is in the best interest of the globe and each nation". Ms Harris was speaking at a news conference in Bangkok, at the end of her trip to attend the Apec forum.
