PHNOM PENH, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has become the 94th state of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) that was established early this year, according to a press statement released Friday by the German Embassy in Cambodia.
The statement said Cambodia signed for the membership of the agency on Friday in Berlin, Germany, which has become the 21st country from Asian nations, with 35 other countries from Africa, 29 from Europe and nine from Latin-America, the statement said.
IRENA was established in Bonn, Germany on Jan. 26, 2009, and Germany is a depository state for this international agreement.
The agency, originally, intends to facilitate access to all relevant information, including data on the potentials for renewable energies, best practices, effective financial mechanisms, and state-of-the-arts technological expertise.
Following the global voice for renewable energies, IRENA is mandated to become a main driving force for promoting a rapid transition towards the widespread and sustainable use of renewable energy on a global scale.
It is also envisaged to provide practical advice and support for both industrialized and developing countries; thereby helping to improve framework and built capacity.
The agency will consist of an Assembly, a council and a secretariat.
