CAIRO, Oct 25 (KUNA) -- Egyptian President Abdulfattah Al-Sisi underlined, Tuesday, importance of intensifying collaborative efforts in energy field, asserting role of Gas Exporting Countries Forum in that regard.
Middle East News Agency (MENA) mentioned that this came during Al-Sisi's meeting with ministers participating in 24th ministerial council of gas exporting countries in Cairo.
Touching on effect of current world events on field of energy, Al-Sisi indicated that this forum is an opportunity to work towards energy market balance via considering member states capabilities and available resources.
He further stressed need for utilizing natural gas to insure fair transportation of energy, so that all states benefit from their own natural resources.
Egypt will be hosting the United Nations' climate change conference (COP27) next November to highlight role of natural gas and its ability to achieve the sought after balance between development and societal wellbeing, and preserving the environment. (end)
