The 3rd session of the Joint Interministerial Greece-Croatia Economic Cooperation Committee took place at the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Croatian Deputy Economy, Employment and Entrepreneurship Minister Tamara Obradovic Mazal and Deputy Foreign Minister Petros Doukas and examined the strengthening of cooperation in a series of important sectors of the economy, investments and trade.

Doukas and Mazal probed during their discussions possibilities for cooperation in the sectors of energy and natural gas, petroleum products, shipping and transport, as well as the building in Croatian shipyards of special ships that are used in underwater construction.

The Croatian side also showed great interest in tourism, particularly the possibilities provided by Croatia for Greek tourist investments. Cooperation existing between the two countries in the framework of the "Adriatic-Ionian Initiative" Cooperation Organisation, whose presidency Greece will be assuming in the new year, was also confirmed once again during the session.
