New Delhi: The first ministerial meeting between ASEAN and India on renewable
energy cooperation Wednesday discussed policy and regulatory frameworks for promoting
renewable energy in ASEAN member countries and India.
The meeting was designed to
increase interactions at institutional as well as industry levels among ASEAN
countries and India.
Inaugurating the meeting here,
India's Minister of New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah said every citizen
of the ASEAN-India region should have access to clean and affordable energy.
The meeting was a unique opportunity to catalyse the India-ASEAN renewable
energy family.
Abdullah said ASEAN and India
have several commonalities in their quest for targetting renewable energy.
India's renewable energy programme is primarily private sector-driven and
offers significant investment and business opportunities, he added.
Many ASEAN countries at the
meeting sought cooperation in solar, wind, biomass and small hydro
technologies, including capacity building, from India.
Ministers from Brunei, Malaysia
and Vietnam were at the meeting. Other delegations were headed by respective
ambassadors and high commissioners.
An official said the meeting was
hosted to celebrate the completion of 20 years of the ASEAN-India partnership.
