KUCHING: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg met with Singapore’s Senior Minister and Coordination Minister for Security Teo Chee Hean in Dubai on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28).
According to a post on the Sarawak government’s official Facebook wall Sarawakku yesterday (Dec 5), the hour-long four-eye meeting touched on various issues, including economic co-operation and collaboration.
