The UAE is keen to continue its efforts to develop the energy sector, especially the clean energy, and invest in the future through a realistic vision that drives global prosperity, said Sharif Salim Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, at the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting in Bali under Indonesia’s first G20 Presidency on Friday.

The theme of Indonesia’s G20 chairmanship is "Recover Together, Recover Stronger". Al Olama affirmed the UAE's commitment 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.

''We in the UAE are keen to maintain constructive cooperation and engagement with our international partners to obtain the proper energy mix in alignment with environment protection objectives and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The UAE is ready to share its experiences in clean energy sector and work together with regional and international partners to entrench its position in the industry and get ready for the next 50 years as it considers this sector a vital enabler and driver for sustainable development and a major attraction for foreign investment,'' he said.
