Εnergy and transport issues topped the agenda in a meeting between Deputy Foreign Minister Spyros Kouvelis and Hungary’s State Secretary for the Economy Zsolt Bescey, who is currently in Athens.

The meeting focused on the use of renewable energy sources and the operation of natural gas pipeline networks.

The two ministers agreed that these constitute priorities in both bilateral and regional cooperation. Transport issues, particularly the prospects for the establishment of a high-speed rail link, were also discussed, along with development cooperation issues in wider Southeast Europe.
