PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof (pic) is visiting Jakarta from today until Friday for a working trip in conjunction with the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) 2024.
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, is expected to deliver a keynote address at ISF at the invitation of the Indonesian government.
“His presence at this forum will strengthen Malaysia’s image and role in the global sustainability agenda, particularly in energy transition. It also reflects Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry said in a statement yesterday, Bernama reported.
It added that it is crucial to highlight Malaysia’s stance and commitment to the sustainability agenda and climate mitigation through the expansion of renewable energy use at the national and regional levels, including phasing-out coal, at international forums such as ISF 2024.
“Additionally, it demonstrates Malaysia’s readiness to implement a sustainable transition to foreign investors, thereby boosting their confidence to invest in Malaysia and encouraging them to fulfil sustainability agendas and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals,” it added.
Fadillah is expected to pay a courtesy call on Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Investment and Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, and is scheduled to meet with the Malaysian diaspora in Jakarta to share the latest developments in the country’s energy transition efforts.
