JAKARTA (BERNAMA) – In a significant move to enhance regional energy cooperation, Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed to form a joint task force to boost renewable energy initiatives and advance the ASEAN Power Grid, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof announced.
He said the task force will explore the feasibility of a joint green industry between Malaysia’s Sarawak and Indonesia’s Kalimantan.
“The task force has been established to advance these initiatives. The group will begin its work tomorrow and is expected to finalise its findings within two weeks,” he told Malaysian media. The decision to establish a task force follows two bilateral meetings on Friday with Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, and Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia.
