"The democratic government pays utmost importance to energy sector and, therefore, gives top priority to address the current energy crisis which is one of the problems inherited by the present leadership. We are committed to expand power generation in the country and attract investment in this sector to meet the growing demand for electricity, oil and gas", he added. The president felicitated the management of Energy Update on the 5th anniversary of its publication.
