KUCHING: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg took the opportunity at the Tupong PBB Hari Raya open house to briefly share his experience at the recent World Hydrogen Summit and Exhibition in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
He said Sarawak’s presence at the summit from May 9 to 11 was proof of the state’s recognition by the international community.
