Bilateral talks between Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Børge Brende, and Minister of Trade and Industry, Monica Mæland, and Turkey’s Minister of Energy, Taner Yildiz, were held on Tuesday.
"The talks between the Norwegian and Turkish government ministers were good. Both sides expressed a keen interest in strengthening cooperation between the countries in the energy sector," says Oistein Andresen, executive vice president of Statkraft.
Statkraft currently has three hydropower projects in Turkey. The Cakit power plant opened in 2010, while Cetin and Kargi are under construction.
