The first Romania-Turkey memorandum on energy cooperation, which was signed at the Istanbul Natural Resources Summit, offers stability in a complicated regional context, Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
"At the end of last week I attended the International Natural Resources Summit in Istanbul, at the invitation of the Turkish Energy Minister, my friend Alparslan Bayraktar. It was a practical meeting where we discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation in the energy field - from security of gas supply to green energy investments and regional infrastructure. We signed on this occasion the first memorandum for bilateral cooperation in the energy sector, including for natural gas deliveries from Turkey to Romania - up to 4 million cubic meters per day, when needed. It is an agreement that offers stability in a complicated regional context," the Energy minister said.
Gas from the Black Sea, Neptun Deep and the status of the Tuzla-Podisor gas pipeline were among the topics discussed at the meeting.
"We also talked about the gas from the Black Sea, Neptun Deep, the status of the Tuzla-Podisor gas pipeline and the interest of Turkish investors for green energy production projects, solar and wind energy, in Romania. And it is precisely because Romania is taken seriously at the regional level that we must ask ourselves lucidly: where are we heading? What are we choosing? We are facing a fundamental orientation test as a country. Will Romania remain pro-West, predictable and respected, or will it become vulnerable, exposed to toxic isolation? It is a battle that is being waged outside the borders, but especially here, inside. In the mind and consciousness of each and every person. And it must be fought in all clarity. Here we are. In a moment that demands not only presence, but courage. And lucidity," wrote Sebastian Burduja.
