Through the MoU, opportunities will be examined, capacities will be developed, partnerships will be made easier, and experiences will be shared in a variety of sectors, including energy and mining, logistics, air, sea, and land transportation, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, investment growth, and private sector expansion.
