Fadillah, who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, told the media this after meeting with the Malaysian diaspora at the Malaysian Embassy here on Wednesday.

He and his delegation arrived here at 3:15 PM local time, welcomed by Ambassador Datuk Syed Md Hasrin Tengku Hussin, to attend the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum 2024 (ISF 2024) from September 5 to 6 at the invitation of the Indonesian government.
