Cyprus and Egypt will be ready in the near future to sign an agreement on a direct undersea natural gas pipeline from Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone to a liquefied natural gas plant in Egypt, Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides said.
The minister, visiting Cairo on Tuesday, said: “We believe that there is a bright future for the cooperation between Cyprus and Egypt in the field of hydrocarbons as our cooperation is based on solid foundations.”
In a joint press conference after the meeting, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said it was important to finalize measures related to the government agreement on constructing gas pipelines between both countries.
