Speaking at the Southeast Europe Energy Forum that is held at Thessaloniki’s 83rd International Fair, the Ambassador of the United States of America to Greece, Mr Geoffrey Pyatt, expressed his belief that Greece’s role as a meeting point for many energy routes in the Mediterranean and South-East Europe is absolutely crucial for USA‘s interests.
Mr Pyatt added that Northern Greece is especially vital for the pipelines that are being created. The American Ambassador said that Greece is a champion on the USA’s strategy for the diversification of the Energy supplies for Europe, helping achieve our common goals in the broader region.
Mr Pyatt mentioned the importance of the privatization efforts of the Greek Government in the sector of Energy, which will bring major opportunities for Greece’s economy, especially now that the country is in the transitional period returning back to growth.
In addition, he praised the efforts of Greece to create strong and viable alliances in the region with Israel, Cyprus, and Egypt in the Mediterranean as well as with Bulgaria and other neighboring countries in the Balkans.
