The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, met in Istanbul with his Turkish
counterpart, Binali Yildirim, while participating at the World Petroleum
Congress.
On a Facebook post, Rama says that with Yildirim he discussed plans for the next four years, with the purpose to establish an important commercial and economic partnership.
At the Congress, Rama had declared that Albania could turn into an important investment destination for big oil companies.
“Our country has unexploited reserves which could turn us into the new front line of petroleum, far from the Middle East heat. Our government’s cooperation with private companies is very important to guarantee a constant growth”, Rama said.
The Albanian Prime Minister underlined that the focus of his government is to increase oil supply for Albanian consumers and to keep integrating the Albanian energy market with the Balkan and European ones.
“Due to its geographic position, Albania will be part of one of world’s biggest energy itineraries, such as the Trans Adriatic Pipeline. We are also close to one of the biggest onshore oil fields in Europe, with 220 million barrels”, Rama said.
