Minister Ahn gave an opening message, stating that within the one year since Korea’s proposing the CFE Initiative, it has won the support of the IEA and 11 countries and launched the CFE Global Working Group (October 2024) in which the Czech Republic, Japan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Korea, and the IEA are taking part. He added that these achievements were made possible thanks to the international community’s shared consensus on the need to utilize diverse carbon-free energy sources.
