It also communicated Japan's efforts in AZEC, Cleaner Energy Future Initiative for ASEAN (CEFIA), and other initiatives, including specific energy conservation and renewable energy projects to support energy transition in the Asia region. In addition to opening remarks from Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources of Republic of Indonesia Arifin Tasrif and President of the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) Tetsuya Watanabe, senior government officials from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia introduced their efforts for decarburization in their countries.

In introducing the efforts of Japanese companies, Sekisui chemical explained the superiority of its film-type perovskite solar cells and the current status of technological development, and also exhibited its currently largest size product (90 x 195 cm). It was a great opportunity to promote the company’s efforts toward commercialization to the participating countries.
