The agreement between Hungary and Turkey provides for the supply of 275 million cubic meters of Turkish gas during 2024. Deliveries will begin in the second and third quarters of this year.
The minister also expressed his intention to develop cooperation between the two countries in the field of nuclear energy, recalling that the new nuclear power plant in Turkey, which will soon go into operation, was built according to a Rosatom project, like the Paks-2 nuclear power plant being built in Hungary. “Thus, the experience gained during construction in Turkey will also help us,” Szijjarto noted.
