The Greek Cypriot administration had decided to establish a liquid natural gas terminal and an undersea pipeline to help pump natural gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields, top Greek Cypriot commerce, industry and tourism official said.
Neoklis Silikiotis said major global energy companies had expressed interest in the construction of the LNG terminal, adding that a private US research university was set to prepare a feasibility report.
Silikiotis was expected to pay a visit in Israel to meet with officials from Israeli energy companies, as well as with Israeli ministers of trade, industry, energy and foreign affairs.
