Building on the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed last February between the East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF) represented by Secretary General Osama Mobarez and the International Energy Forum (IEF) represented by Secretary General Joseph McMonigle, that aims to advance regional dialogue on gas market security and promote gas market transparency, the EMGF has become a partner organization for the 8th IEF-IGU Ministerial Gas Forum meeting, hosted by the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources on May 29th 2023.
The 8th IEF-IGU Ministerial Gas Forum, aims to strengthen international collaboration to optimize gas markets for energy security, shared prosperity, and climate action, considering the extraordinary gas market, energy and climate policy dynamics, and the outcomes of the United Nations Climate Conference COP27.
The EMGF participation in the 8th IEF-IGU Ministerial Gas Forum panels and roundtables will further promote the increasing role of the East Mediterranean in supporting global energy security, and highlights the importance of gas in the Energy Transition.
