Greetings on the opening of the 7th Russian Energy Week International Forum

Friends,
I am happy to welcome you all to the 7th
Russian Energy Week.
As per tradition, delegates from government
agencies and business and expert communities from many countries will meet to discuss the current state and development prospects of the Russian and global
energy sector, including their digital transformation and the enhancement of their
efficiency and environmental safety. A specialised exhibition of equipment and technology for the fuel and energy sector is of utmost interest.
The theme of this year’s forum – Energy
Cooperation in a Multipolar World – is extremely important and topical. It is clear
that energy cooperation in the new geopolitical realities should help
strengthen national economies, promote the achievement of priority social goals
and improve the quality of people’s lives.
I would like to emphasise that a meeting of BRICS energy ministers, scheduled to be held on the sidelines of the forum,
will be a key event of Russia’s BRICS Chairmanship. The ministers will
coordinate the principles of a fair energy transition shared by our countries
and map out ways to strengthen BRICS’ role in the global energy dialogue.
I am confident that you will have substantive
and constructive discussions and that your agreements and initiatives will
facilitate the implementation of our joint projects and the development of a just and mutually beneficial international energy partnership.
I wish you fruitful work and all the best.
