KUCHING (Dec 11): Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg began his official working visit to China with a dialogue session with the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government in Nanjing.

The Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) reported that Abang Johari arrived with his delegation at 11.15am local time and was received by Vice Governor Zhao Jianjun, who represented Governor Liu Xiaotao.

Accompanying the Premier were Deputy Minister for Utility (Sarawak Energy Berhad and Petros) Datuk Ibrahim Baki; Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Hamid Bugo; Petros Group chief executive officer Datuk Janin Girie; and other Petros representatives.

The dialogue followed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between Petros and the China Jiangsu International Economic and Technical Cooperation Group Ltd (CJI), aimed at advancing the development of the Kuching Low Carbon Hub (KLCH).

The KLCH is a flagship initiative under the Sarawak Gas Masterplan to drive sustainable and high-value industrial growth in the state.

The KLCH is positioned as a transformative initiative that will turn Sarawak’s low-carbon policy direction into a new economic opportunity for its people.

It is envisioned as a next-generation industrial park integrating high-technology manufacturing, clean energy, data-driven operations, and a comprehensive low-carbon industrial ecosystem.
