BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18. Lithuania is seeking to diversify natural gas import and cooperation with Azerbaijan in this field could be more intensive, the office of Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda told Trend.

“Thus, prospects and possibilities for our two nations in the energy sphere must be explored. The war in Ukraine was an emergency call for Europe to diversify the supply of energy recourses. As the EU strives to end its fossil fuel dependency on Russia, there is a strong interest of the EU member states to strengthen energy cooperation with alternative energy suppliers and diversify its sources of supply, including obtaining larger amounts of natural gas from Azerbaijan.

We appreciate Azerbaijan as a reliable partner for the EU in the energy sector. President’s expectation is that one day Azerbaijani gas will reach Lithuania. President presumes this given Lithuania’s freshly new gas pipeline linking Lithuania and the Baltics to the European gas network (GIPL), Lithuania’s LNG terminal capacities, Azerbaijan’s interconnections with the European Union by gas pipelines, and our goals to deepen cooperation,” said the president’s office.
