Answering questions of the press, the US official has made it clear that the US has the opportunity, through further investments promoting in the energy sector, to meet Europe’s energy needs, with the aim of reducing it from Russian energy sources. In this respect, Mr Bergam emphasized Greece’s strategic position by emphasizing the support of the United States to our country for this purpose.

Mr Papastavrou, having made a special reference to the day of remembrance of the victims of terrorist attacks in the US of 11/9, including many Greek Americans, stressed that “the US remains a strategic partner of Greece, that the US and Prime Minister’s relations with the US and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsos Cooperation »and described Mr Bergam’s visit to Greece, the first international visit by the US official, as a tangible example of this cooperation.

The Minister of Environment and Energy St. Papastavrou, and pointed out three times about Mr Bergam’s visit to Greece: Proof of the relationship, a vote of confidence in the country and empowering its geopolitical role. “Greece and the US have a strategic relationship.

We are particularly happy that Chevron expressed interest yesterday and together with Exxon Mobil has been present here, helping us to develop the hydrocarbon sector. Second, it is a vote of confidence. It is clearly a vote of confidence for the government but mainly to the Greek people and the country, which has suffered a particularly serious crisis decade ago, between 2010 and 2020 and now overcames most European countries, borrowing interest rates lower in France and has reduced the level of unemployment from 18% to 18%. Third, its geopolitical role is enhanced. Greece becomes an energy hub, it is interconnected with most of its neighbors and contributes to energy proficiency and security in the region. “

As Mr Bergam pointed out, “everything that is happening in Greece today is particularly positive. The opportunity for Greece and its strategic position, but also the government’s policies, which are the opera of the energy sector, are particularly positive, ”said Mr Bergam. As explained by the two pillars on which American energy policy is based, two words are as follows. One is peace and the other prosperity. “You have plenty of energy that is affordable and secure and this is excellent for the economy. It is particularly essential to the economy of the future that will be built around a plethora of electricity that will move the revolution of artificial intelligence. ” The other pillar on which this policy is based is peace. According to him, the two major conflicts still funded by oil and gas sales by states that either wage wars against us and our allies, or fund terrorism against us and our allies. In this context, Protrus Trump has been able to bring peace to the world and a way of achieving this goal is through energy diplomacy. “

As she pointed out, “Greece is a wonderful partner given its location in SE Europe and the unloading LNG in the facilities (Revithousa) confirms that the vertical axis, the North-South Axis operates and this event can provide peace and stability throughout the area.”
