Former United States Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt spoke of his six-year tenure in Greece (2016-2022) as something he "was proud of", during his hearing at the Senate on Thursday.

As President Joe Biden's nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources, Pyatt addressed the Committee on Foreign Relations, saying that energy issues "have been a major focus through the past two decades" of his career.

If confirmed, he said, he would "continue ENR's (Bureau of Energy Resources) efforts to bolster fuel supplies on the global market and thwart Russia’s use of energy as a weapon of war."

Referring to his recently concluded tenure in Athens, the former ambassador said, "Energy diversification is crucial to this effort. Over six years in Athens, I was proud to partner with the Greek government to help that country become a leading ally promoting diversity of energy sources and routes in Europe".

"Importantly, our Embassy team also supported Greece to adopt one of the EU’s most ambitious energy transition agendas, often partnering with American companies that are creating jobs here at home" he added.
