El Molla stressed the importance of joint cooperation between the two sides and the keenness to strengthen and increase the bonds of this cooperation, pointing out that the two sides are working to accelerate the development of the Nargis offshore field and increase their cooperation with regard to receiving and exporting Eastern Mediterranean gas.
