"The conference, attended by more than 7,000 delegates from 80 countries, comes at a time when the global energy industry is facing uncertainty and change, driven by the effects of the global pandemic, geopolitics and a war involving one of the greatest energy powers in the world", says the statement.
Quoted in the note, José Barroso considers that "this is an opportunity for Angola to show what is being done, mainly in terms of oil and gas production and exploration, respecting climate issues, thus having the possibility of convincing the institutions financial institutions to participate in our effort to develop the oil industry".
One of the objectives of the event, says the statement, is to "design the world's energy systems for a future with less carbon", in addition to "searching for solutions on how the industry will navigate the turbulence and lead the transition to a sustainable future, plentiful and accessible".
