UAE and France clean energy push
Becht said that the United Arab Emirates and France believe in accelerating the transition to green energy, in addressing the growing risks posed by global warming, highlighting the rising number of natural disasters caused by climate change.
He said: “The environmental challenges we face motivate us to be more courageous and committed in our actions to accelerate the energy transition.
“That is why the UAE and France have many joint projects in various fields, including hydrogen and nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, to produce clean energy that is the future of the sector”.
The relations between the UAE and France are deep-rooted, Becht added, noting that he plans to visit the country soon to discuss ways of boosting the economic cooperation between the two countries and take it to the next level.
