Moldova has joined the International Solar Alliance, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on this week.
Jaiswal said that India welcomes Moldova in its efforts to promote sustainability. The agreement was signed between Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister Mihai Popsoi.
"Moldova joins the International Solar Alliance (ISA)! Moldova signed the ISA Framework Agreement. We welcome Moldova joining global efforts to promote clean energy and sustainability through the ISA platform," the MEA statement read.
Earlier, Jaishankar and Popsoi signed the declaration of intent on Migration and Mobility in the national capital of India.
A treaty-based international intergovernmental organisation, International Solar Alliance (ISA), aims at mobilising more than $1,000 billion of investment needed by 2030 for the massive deployment of solar energy.
Last month, Armenia became the 104th full member of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal announced.
Headquartered in India, the ISA has brought together several countries to collectively address barriers related to technology, finance, and capacity in scaling up solar energy.
India is playing a crucial role in shaping the sustainable energy future by providing renewable energy solutions to the world, especially the Global South. Under India's Presidency of the ISA, it has undertaken numerous impactful projects, including solarisation of Malawi's Parliamentary building, solar-powered healthcare centres in Fiji, solar-powered cold storage facility in Seychelles, and solar PV rooftop systems in Kiribati.
The alliance has also facilitated technical training for experts from member countries to enhance solar energy capabilities.
