DUBAI: The UAE is committed to constructive collaboration with the international community to confront challenges facing the global energy sector with the aim of advancing efforts to realise international stability, an official said on Friday.
Speaking at the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting in Bali, the undersecretary for energy and petroleum affairs at the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure Sharif Salim Al-Olama said that his country is also keen to develop the energy sector, especially clean energy, and invest in the future through a realistic vision that drives global prosperity.
“The UAE is ready to share its experiences in the clean energy sector and work together with regional and international partners to entrench its position in the industry and get ready for the next fifty years as it considers this sector a vital enabler and driver for sustainable development and a major attraction for foreign investment,” Al-Olama said.
The official said the UAE is at the forefront of energy diversification efforts and the adoption of sustainability-driven technology to achieve climate neutrality as a key priority.
Al-Olama met separately with the Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy Policy Rob Jetten and the US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk to discuss prospects for joint cooperation in sustainable development and preparations for the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) which will be hosted by the UAE in 2023.
