Egypt will export natural gas and petroleum products to Syria under two memoranda of understanding (MoU) signed by the countries’ petroleum ministries, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources said.
One memorandum covers
the supply of natural gas to Syria for electricity generation, utilising Egypt’s existing
infrastructure, including floating regasification units and gas transmission
networks.
The second addresses
Syria’s demand for petroleum products.
Discussions also
included potential cooperation in rehabilitating Syria’s gas and petroleum
infrastructure, drawing on Egyptian technical expertise.
The ministry said the
agreements are part of Egypt’s strategy to strengthen its role as a regional
energy hub.
They follow recent
accords with Lebanon and Cyprus to expand gas exports and integrate regional
energy networks.
