Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday had an online meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the team involved with the power interconnector linking Greece and Egypt, ANA reports.
The prime minister stressed that the power link – whose basis is the Memorandum of Understanding for the interconnection of the Greek and Egyptian power networks signed by the two countries on October 14, 2021 – will help diversify the energy source and supply routes to Europe and enhance energy security on the European continent. The issue is even more pertinent now, due to the new landscape created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“Greece and Egypt will play an important role in this new environment due to their capabilities and strategic position. We are natural bridges between Europe and Africa,” Mitsotakis noted.
