KUCHING, Jan 15: The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), a department of the Government of the United Kingdom (UK), is in discussion with the Sarawak government on collaboration and support for Sarawak’s net zero strategies and carbon plan, including the hydrogen economy.
In a statement today, the Sarawak Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (MEESty) said delegates from FCDO UK paid a courtesy call to its Deputy Minister, Dr Hazland Abang Hipni, at his office in Baitul Makmur Building here on Friday (Jan 13) to discuss the matter further.
