Egypt and Qatar have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Doha to strengthen cooperation in the energy sector, particularly in the sale and import of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as other areas of energy collaboration. According to official statements, the agreement represents a key step towards diversifying Egypt’s natural gas supply sources and expanding frameworks for cooperation in securing LNG shipments. The memorandum further consolidates the strategic partnership between Egypt and Qatar in the energy sector. QatarEnergy’s activities in Egypt are currently focused on the Mediterranean Sea, where the company operates in six offshore exploration blocks. In a related development, EGAS and QatarEnergy signed the terms of an executive mechanism governing the supply of a number of Qatari LNG cargoes to Egypt.
