On Wednesday 20 October 2021, the Head of the Representative Office Petr Starý met with the Head of the Palestine Energy and Natural Resource Authority (PENRA), Zafer Milhem. The meeting was a symbolic conclusion of the latest joint project - the installation of solar panels on the roofs of 35 schools in the West Bank.
The Czech Republic has long cooperated with the Palestine Energy and Natural Resource Authority on development projects in the field of renewable energy, with the first project taking place as early as 1997. Since then, solar panels have been installed on roofs of dozens of public building, some of them serve a refugee camp or centres for the disabled. Zafer Milhem thanked the Czech Republic for its long-standing support for the development of renewable sources of energy in Palestine and expressed his hope that in the future, it will be possible to build on this traditional cooperation, which has spanned almost a quarter of a century.
