The Honourable Stuart R. Young, MP, Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, advocated for the use of natural gas and energy security at the 7th GECF Summit, Minister Young’s Address at the 7th GECF Summit, Algiers, The Democratic Republic of Algeria.
In his address, Minister Young stated, “Your Excellencies, it is incumbent upon us to raise our voices globally in the conversation of energy security and food security, and to demand the ability and the opportunities to utilize our sovereign resources, and importantly, to work together not only in the promotion of the use of natural gas, which will inevitably feature as the energy source for decades to come in a clean energy environment, but also for us to work together to exploit our own gas resources. Your Excellencies, Trinidad and Tobago, as small as it is, continues to play a vital role in providing energy security, not only for Latin America and the CARICOM region, but also as far away as Europe. As I look around this room, I call upon us once again to use the body of the GECF to raise the platform and the voices for natural gas.”
