Headed by the UAE’s undersecretary of the ministry of energy and infrastructure for energy and petroleum affairs, Sharif Al Olama, the state visit aims to promote efforts between the two countries in drafting policies in areas that promote renewable and clean energy, state news agency Wam has reported.
“The Emirati-German partnership has helped achieve the objectives of the clean energy transition and supported the efforts of both sides to draft projects and initiatives in line with the Paris Climate Agreement,” he said.
