"Extremely important", The President of the Republic described the debate that is taking place for the second day at the European Council "on Europe's energy independence in the aftermath of the war in Ukraine and the need for the European Union to diversify its energy sources".
In his Twitter posts, President Anastasiades noted that "Cyprus
has always favoured strengthening the EU's energy security through the diversification of our sources and supply routes".
"We need to speed up work on the various electricity interconnection projects which, among other things, will allow the completion of the single electricity market," he added.
He noted that "at the regional level, Cyprus is working with Eastern Mediterranean countries, such as Egypt and Israel, as well as Gulf countries, such as Saudi Arabia, through which it will contribute significantly to the diversification of the Union's energy routes and sources, as well as to the green transition".
