The NATO secretary general and International Energy Agency (IEA) head on Thursday discussed energy security.

“Good discussion on energy security and #Russia’s manipulation of the energy markets with the IEA’s Fatih Birol,” Jens Stoltenberg said on Twitter.

“NATO Allies and partners are working together to end reliance on Russian energy, and we welcome our strong partnership with the IEA,” he added.
