ATHENS (Sputnik) – The EastMed pipeline project, which is expected to bring Israeli and Cypriot natural gas to Greece and Italy, is not aimed against third parties and is open to anyone respecting international law, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, the agreement regarding the pipeline’s construction was signed by Greek Energy Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and his Israeli and Cypriot counterparts, Yuval Steinitz and Yiorgos Lakkotrypis, in the presence of Mitsotakis, his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades.
The prime minister noted the support of the United States and said he would personally describe the geopolitical importance of the pipeline to US President Donald Trump during his visit to Washington next week.
The pipeline is expected to bring natural gas from Israel’s Leviathan field and Cyprus’ Aphrodite field to Greece and go further to Italy and other southeastern European countries.
According to the current estimations, the pipeline could become operational in 2024-2025.
