More
than 60 government officials and experts from the AMS and China energy sector

the energy sector of the world today was undergoing profound changes. Renewable
energy has thus become a focus in global energy development and energy
transition and decarbonisation has become the common mission of the
international community. She pointed out that the joint launching of
China-ASEAN Clean Energy Capacity Building Programme by China and AMS will
greatly contribute to clean energy and sustainable development and benefit the
