ATHENS, Jul 27 (NNN-AMNA) – Greece and Saudi Arabia will explore further bilateral cooperation in many sectors, with emphasis on energy, as announced by the two sides during the two-day visit of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, to Athens yesterday.
“We would like to explore further opportunities between our two countries and our two economies, to partner and to attract more Saudi investment into Greece,” Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said, in statements welcoming the Saudi Crown Prince, according to Greek national broadcaster ERT.
“Linking the grid of electricity, we can provide Greece and south-west Europe, through Greece, much cheaper renewable energy. We are also working about hydrogen and how to turn Greece into a hub for Europe for hydrogen. That is a game changer for both of us,” Mohammed said.
Trade and security are also on the agenda of discussions during his visit, he added.
Greek and Saudi private business groups are expected to sign a series of agreements, in the fields of maritime transport, aquaculture, waste management, culture, food and agricultural products, construction and defence technology.– NNN-AMNA
