US State Department backs energy security and cooperation in Eastern Mediterranean amid Great Sea Interconnector push
A US State Department spokesperson affirmed American support for energy security and cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean, highlighting initiatives such as the Eastern Mediterranean Energy Center. This statement followed a bipartisan group of US Congress members urging the Trump administration to prioritize the Great Sea Interconnector project linking Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.
The bipartisan letter sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the head of the US Development Finance Corporation underlined the strategic importance of the interconnector for US interests tied to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The spokesperson emphasized the US commitment to strengthening key energy partnerships that enhance global energy security and promote a secure, prosperous future with stable energy supplies.
This development coincides with a recent agreement on August 5 welcoming French investment group Meridiam as the majority shareholder in the company responsible for financing and implementing the interconnector project. The move signals growing international cooperation aimed at diversifying energy links and boosting regional integration in the Eastern Mediterranean.
