The United States has a strong and historic relationship with Greece because it trusts it to act in a reliable way, US Ambassador George Tsunis said on Tuesday, at the first press briefing held after meeting with Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias earlier in the day, ANA reports.
The two officials had exchanged the notes verbales on the ratification of the Second Protocol of Amendment to the MDCA by Greece and USA respectively.
A large part of the ambassador’s comments related to Greece’s role as an energy hub and a factor of stability in the region. He revealed that the US planned to invest in the electricity grid to strengthen the interconnection between Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt. The system, he noted, could send electricity to the Balkans and as far as Moldova and Ukraine, while Greece’s economy would also gain from the passage fees. He also called for more liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating facilities, allowing larger LNG quantities to come to Greece that could then be distributed to the Balkans.
