The 35th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting or AMEM 35 held a meeting this week and tackled, among others, the potential energy resource for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said that they envision dynamic and robust collaboration within ASEAN and dialogue partners as well as other relevant international agencies.
Ensuring access to and adequate supply of resilient and sustainable energy in the ASEAN region is the main agenda of the AMEM35 and associated meetings hosted by the Department of Energy, he said.
The theme is “One ASEAN community to resilient and sustainable energy.”
According to the DOE, the 35th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting or AMEM 35 aims to lay the groundwork for the enhancement of cooperation under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2016-2025.
APAEC is a series of policy guidelines to implement the energy cooperation as part of regional integration towards a globally competitive ASEAN.
The ASEAN Energy Ministers aim to implement in the series of meetings the political guidance and direction for the implementation of the various key energy sectors in the region.
