TOKYO : Japan’s lower house scheduling committee board has agreed to hold a parliamentary vote to select the next prime minister on October 21. A senior committee member confirmed the decision to Reuters on Friday. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party proposed this date under its new leader Sanae Takaichi. Opposition parties objected to the schedule due to ongoing coalition negotiations. The LDP has approached the right-leaning opposition Japan Innovation Party to secure a majority vote. This coalition expansion would enable Takaichi to become Japan’s first female prime minister. Several diplomatic events await the new prime minister toward the end of the month. International summits in Malaysia and South Korea are scheduled for the new leader. United States President Donald Trump’s expected visit to Japan also appears on the agenda. – Reuters

WELLINGTON : New Zealand is reimposing United Nations sanctions on Iran due to serious concerns about Iran’s failure to meet its nuclear obligations. Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced the decision in an official statement released on Friday. The sanctions reinstatement follows Iran’s non-compliance with the terms of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an internationally recognised nuclear agreement. These measures will officially take effect starting October 18, 2024. This action aligns with similar moves by Britain, France and Germany who also recently reimposed UN sanctions citing Iranian violations. The announcement comes after Australia accused Iran of directing antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne in August. Australian authorities subsequently gave Tehran’s ambassador seven days to leave the country. The renewed sanctions package includes comprehensive restrictions such as asset freezes and travel bans against designated individuals. Import and export bans will apply to specific nuclear and military-related goods and technologies. New Zealand citizens will also have a legal duty to exercise heightened vigilance in all business dealings with Iran. “This reimposition of UN-mandated sanctions reflects the international community’s deep concerns about Iran’s non-compliance with its nuclear obligations and unjustifiable levels of uranium enrichment activity,“ Peters stated. “New Zealand has consistently supported diplomatic efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons from any source.” The foreign minister strongly encouraged Iran to return to negotiation tables and resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Peters additionally revealed that New Zealand will implement a compulsory registration scheme for citizens intending to conduct business with Iran. This new registration requirement will come into effect on February 1, 2026. – Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: The Badminton Association of Malaysia will send its top players to the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand to restore the country’s pride. BAM secretary-general Datuk Kenny Goh stated this decision was made by coaches following thorough discussions. Malaysia’s previous backup squad at the Phnom Penh edition returned with only two silver and four bronze medals. “We felt this is the most opportune time for us to make a decision that benefits the country as this involves restoring the country’s dignity,” Kenny explained during a visit to the diving training venue with chef de mission Nurul Huda Abdullah. He confirmed the SEA Games shuttlers would face no scheduling conflicts with the BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou. Badminton events will begin on December 7 and conclude on December 15, two days before the World Tour Finals start. “We do have sufficient time to make any necessary logistics planning for Hangzhou,” Kenny added. The BWF World Tour Finals format permits only the top eight singles players and pairs in the World Tour rankings. Four Malaysian pairs selected for the SEA Games currently hold top-eight positions in the BWF World Tour Finals rankings. Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik rank second in men’s doubles while Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun hold fourth position. Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah lead the women’s doubles rankings and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei stand sixth in mixed doubles. Malaysia will also rely on Leong Jun Hao and Justin Hoh in men’s singles alongside K. Letshanaa and Wong Ling Ching in women’s singles. The squad includes Go Pei Kee-Teoh Mei Xing in women’s doubles and Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin in mixed doubles. All listed players will participate in team events with additional support from Eogene Ewe and Aidil Sholeh Ali Sadikin in the men’s team. Siti Zulaikha Muhammad Azmi and Eng Ler Qi will provide support in the women’s team event for the biennial Games. – Bernama
