During these meetings, the members of the UAE, “strategic actors in the electricity sectors of Arab countries”, reviewed all the decisions taken during the previous session, with a view to continuing the operationalization of the Union’s strategic plan aimed at modernizing the Union’s structures, in particular through the adoption of an effective governance system and the reorientation of its missions and objectives, ONEE said in a press release.
Discussions also focused on strengthening the UAE’s human and financial resources, establishing a new membership system as well as preparing the new UAE headquarters to promote the Union’s operational efficiency.
Quoted in the press release, Mr. El Hafidi welcomed the considerable efforts made in this direction and called for the continuation of joint efforts in order to ensure the continued development and success of this organization.
