Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah Haji Yusof, will lead Malaysia’s delegation to the Energy Ministers’ Meeting (EMM) under the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) from 15 to 16 August 2024.
The APEC EMM, hosted by Peru as the APEC 2024 Chair, is the highest- level meeting for APEC economic leaders responsible for energy development. This meeting is expected to discuss the direction, policies, and cooperation for sustainable growth in the energy sector, particularly in energy transition and efforts to reduce the carbon footprint among APEC economies.
YAB Deputy Prime Minister will highlight the nation’s stance on implementing the country’s energy transition efforts, ensuring inclusive and equitable energy transition and sharing the nation’s aspirations towards achieving net- zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through the implementation of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), Hydrogen Economy Roadmap (HETR), and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030. This sharing and engagement on Malaysia’s progressive initiatives are likely to provide a positive outlook on the country’s green investment potential to investors from the Asia-Pacific region.
Besides promoting the nation’s sustainable growth efforts and commitments, Malaysia’s presence is expected to further strengthen the country’s image and position as a destination for clean and high-value investments. While attending this meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister will also hold bilateral and multilateral meetings with counterparts from APEC economies and international industry players to expand cooperation networks in various energy fields, particularly those that support the country’s energy transition commitments and initiatives.
