The occasion was held at the Official Residence of the Indonesian Ambassador to Norway Teuku Faizasyah.
On behalf of the ACO, Ambassador Fos, conveyed his appreciation to the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for bringing the AMS delegates together to Norway in support of enhancing ASEAN energy cooperation.
The study tour in the cities of Oslo and Bergen runs from 5 to 11 November 2023, and is attended by delegates from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. They are representatives of the ministries relevant in the climate and energy sectors of the individual AMS. The lone delegate from the Philippines is Senior Science Research Specialist Jane M.
