"Close cooperation between Lithuania and Estonia is crucial in order to ensure that the Baltic States could establish a fully functioning common gas market as soon as possible," said Masiulis.

LNG terminal and its business opportunities in the region were presented to the Estonia's Minister of Economy and Infrastructure.

"It is clear that the LNG terminal can contribute to the security of gas supply in the whole Baltic region, so it was a valuable experience to learn more about its activities in Lithuania. Estonia is always positive about possible ways to take the advantage of a variety of alternatives in energy supply and then achieve energy security. Klaipeda LNG terminal is one of those ways," said Michal.

The ministers also discussed progress in the implementation of the Lithuanian-Polish gas pipeline (GIPL) project, power links that are planned to be finished at the end of this year in Lithuania and cooperation in the implementation of the Baltic countries synchronization with the continental European networks project.
