TIRANA, Aug 24 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke on Wednesday at the “European Alpbach” forum in Austria about energy production, while emphasizing that “we can move much faster towards energy transition.
“This war has also come with an extremely interesting chance if I could use this word, to make a faster, green transition, no longer out of desire, but out of need. We can move much faster to ensure energy transition. But for that we need Saudi Arabia, for example, we need to look to the Middle East. I am mentioning Saudi Arabia because there is a huge potential to establish cooperation based on the vision of 2030 which is also about exporting, so to make Saudi Arabia, imagine, a country that has abundant sources of oil and wants to become self-sufficient in green energy and net exporter of green energy,” Rama said, adding that many issues are solved together.
PM said that “this journey is associated with many risks, but also with new chances. After all, the richer the countries, the bigger the problems and their resistance, that’s the point. They have money, but the ability to sacrifice is much lower.”
“The problem is that what Ivan said is absolutely something that sheds light on why some things have not been thought of before. Not because people don’t know, but because memory is fading, it’s a generation that has never seen a war, that has never thought about the reason the European Union has been created, the efforts to prevent wars and strengthen security, and now this is the challenge facing us,” said Rama.
