Responsibilities

The External Relations Department (ERD) formulates strategies and policies to establish and develop relations and cooperation with countries and international organisations to advance Singapore's energy interests and to establish Singapore as an energy thought leader and responsible global citizen.

As part of these initiatives to further enhance engagement, ERD also oversees EMA's annual flagship energy event, the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), featuring a comprehensive schedule of energy-focused conferences, exhibitions and meetings.

EMA is stepping up our engagement with energy International Organisations (IOs) to strengthen Singapore's position as an energy thought leader and our relevance in the global energy architecture. This includes our cooperation with the International Energy Agency (IEA) on two key initiatives: (a) the Singapore-IEA Regional Training Hub, which provides energy training programmes to develop industry-specific capabilities in the region, and (b) the Singapore-IEA Forum, which provides a platform for energy stakeholders to engage in a debate on the future of the industry. Besides the IEA, you will also be part of the team responsible for our cooperation with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL), among others. There will also be an opportunity to be involved in other bilateral, regional and SIEW-related work that the Department oversees.
