The Ambassador of Pakistan to the UAE, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, presented his credentials as the Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.

The letter of credentials was received by Francesco La Camera, Director General of Irena.

During the ceremony, Tirmizi reiterated Pakistan’s full support to meet the objectives and initiatives of Irena while stating that mainstreaming renewable energy is a priority for the country.
