T.P. Seetharam, the Indian Ambassador to the UAE, formally presented his credentials as India’s Permanent Representative to Irena to Adnan Z. Ameen, Director-General of Irena, on Sunday. The brief ceremony was held at the Irena headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
Irena is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serves as the principal platform for international cooperation. The agency promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy in the pursuit of sustainable development.
