According to a statement from the ministry issued today, Saturday, the two sides discussed the proposed gas pipeline project aiming to connect Nigeria and Libya, along with opportunities for exporting natural gas to European markets. Discussions also covered the proposed implementation plan, taking into account the available capacities of the countries participating in the gas transmission project.
