On the sidelines of the 10th EMGF Ministerial Meeting, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—a key member of the Gas Industry Advisory Committee (GIAC)—hosted a high-level luncheon to advance regional energy cooperation. The gathering was headed by Secretary Chris Wright and convened Ministers, Heads of Delegations, and prominent private sector leaders.

The event underscored the EMGF’s core founding principle: that meaningful progress in the energy sector relies on sustained, structured dialogue between governments and industry stakeholders. By serving as a unique platform for diverse perspectives, the Forum continues to align strategic priorities and catalyze cooperation across the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond.
