Meanwhile, Minister Konris Maynard also expressed his deep gratitude towards the UAE for their generous assistance and contribution through a bilateral collaboration which enabled the grand-funded solar desalination project.He stated that the initiative fits into the overall agenda of the government to achieve a sustainable island state.
