[01] Cyprus and Israel strengthen energy security cooperation
The Ministers of Defence of Cyprus and Israel, Fotis Fotiou and Moshe
Yaalon, have set the foundations for a coordinated cooperation in energy
security issues.
In statements at Limassol, Fotiou told reporters that during his meeting
in Tel Aviv with Yaalon, they also decided to set up technical committees
to promote the issues examined. He said their discussions were very
productive and allowed them to examine a series of issues which relate to
bilateral relations on security and energy issues, following the location
of vast natural gas reserves within the Cyprus EEZ which borders with
that of Israel, and opens prospects for cooperation in the field.
"We decided to set the foundation to further strengthen and deepen
relations between the two ministries", said Fotiou, noting that for this
reason technical committees were set up to promote all issues and the
first meeting of these committees will take place in Cyprus on 28 May.
