On the sidelines of the conference, he met with the US Special Presidential Envoy on Climate John Kerry, and took part in a high-level event held on Egypt and Cyprus’ initiative on “Coordinating Climate Change Actions in the Eastern Mediterranean & Middle East” and co-chaired a round table on secure access to water.
According to sources, during his meeting with Kerry, they discussed Greek-US cooperation against climate change and achieving the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Earlier, while addressing the Cyprus-Egypt event also attended by the President of Egypt and host of the conference Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Cyprus President Nikos Anastasiades, Mitsotakis stressed the importance of the regional cooperation and coordination against climate change in the Eastern Mediterranean, with a focus on electricity interconnections and management of natural disasters.
“It is necessary to further cooperation as regards energy interconnection. It is an issue of high importance for us. Of course, we are examining with President El-Sisi the possibility of developing a new, significant interconnection between Egypt and Greece in order to be able to transfer cheap energy from renewable energy sources, which will be produced in this part of the world, not only to Greece but also to other European markets that seek cheaper energy generated from RES,” Mitsotakis said.
