The engagement focused on exploring opportunities for collaboration in training, research, development, and skills acquisition in renewable energy technologies.

Our goal is to turn this partnership into practical opportunities for training, innovation, and sustainable livelihoods.” — Hon. Rayyan Hussain MPSCM FICA
