Greece’s Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou paid a short visit to Israel on the 28th of November where he met both Israel’s National Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau and Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan.
Papakonstantinou discussed issues of energy, the environment, and water management. “We had a very productive meeting with Mr. Landau during which we examined all the possibilities for a closer political and commercial partnership between the two countries, aiming at the exchange of technology and promoting private investments, especially in the important area of water management,” Papakonstantinou said.
Meanwhile, Papakonstantinou told ‘Jerusalem Post’, that the new government in Athens could open a pipeline to export natural gas from countries including Israel to destinations in northern Europe, as Greece seeks to become a regional center for the transit of this energy source.
