Azzam said diversifying supply sources and routes could strengthen energy security and make systems more resilient to disruptions. Her remarks describe a policy position expressed at a conference; they do not announce a signed agreement or approval of a particular infrastructure investment.","Azzam said energy corridors should give countries practical choices that reduce dependence on any single source or route. She argued that planners should first maximize the use of infrastructure already in place, then identify missing strategic links that could connect countries to additional sources and markets. Petra’s report said she viewed gas networks and electricity interconnections as complementary options, while emphasizing that the appropriate choice depends on the need being addressed. The sequence she outlined was to define the energy requirement first and then select the technically and economically feasible option, whether that means gas infrastructure, an electricity link or upgrading an existing system.","The approach ties regional integration to national supply-security requirements. A cross-border connection can widen trading options, but the existence of a link alone does not guarantee continuity if a source, route or operating arrangement is disrupted.
