6th Asian Ministerial Energy Roundtable
Doha, Qatar
The 6th Asian Ministerial Energy Roundtable (AMER6) took place in Doha, Qatar from 8-10 November 2015.
The Government of Qatar hosted this prestigious biennial event, which is a key feature of the global energy dialogue promoted under the neutral banner of the International Energy Forum. The Ministerial was co-Hosted by Thailand.
In previous AMER events, IEF Ministers have recognised their interdependence and placed an emphasis on the need for trust and dialogue in building and sustaining partnerships. Cooperation, knowledge-sharing, data transparency and investment all featured prominently in discussions at AMER6, which culminated in the endorsement of a proposal by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to establish an Asian Energy Efficiency Knowledge Sharing Framework under the IEF.
The full agenda for the Ministerial is available for download below along with many of the AMER6 articles, speeches, and presentations.
