On June 6, a parallel session themed ‘Promoting Energy Cooperation in Northeast Asia’ of the Sixth International Conference of the ‘Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security’ was organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific and European Union.
In the first half of the session, participants exchanged views on regional countries’ prospects for strengthened Northeast Asian energy cooperation as well as recent developments in neighboring countries’ energy relations. Stressing that it is technically and economically feasible to connect the regional countries to an integrated power system, they unanimously pointed out the need for coherence between political support and coordination.
In the session’s second part, EU specialists and researchers gave a presentation on Europe’s experience of building an integrated energy system.
