Christodoulides: Aims for First Sale of Cypriot Natural Gas to Europe via Egypt by 2027-2028

President Nikos Christodoulides stated that the goal is to achieve the first sale of Cypriot natural gas to Europe via Egypt around 2027-2028. The statement was made after his participation in the charity run “Run for Autism” in Ayia Napa. President Christodoulides mentioned that his visit to Egypt tomorrow concerns exclusively energy issues and that he will sign an agreement related to this goal. He recalled that the first discovery of natural gas in Cyprus's EEZ was made in 2011, but there has been no exploitation until today. The President expressed optimism that Cyprus is on the right track to achieve its goal of selling natural gas to Europe, through Egypt, around 2027-2028.
