🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin addressed 8th GECF Summit 🌐 Key takeaways from statements by the Russian President on Russia and the global situation: 🔷 Together, forum participants account for 70% of the world’s natural gas reserves and around 40% of global gas exports. 🔷 The escalation in the Middle East has left the global gas industry facing uncertainty. Established business ties have been undermined, and prices have risen sharply. 🔷 Meeting the challenges facing the global gas industry requires not erecting barriers but strengthening cooperation among gas-exporting countries. 🔷 Russia remains a responsible gas exporter and a reliable, predictable partner. 🔷 Any attempt to exclude Russia from the global gas market or to restrain the development of this industry in the country carries serious consequences, primarily rising costs for foreign customers of gas. 🔷 Russia is consistently strengthening its technological sovereignty. We are mastering production from so-called deep horizons and have made significant progress in developing its own LNG technologies. 🔷 Russia is open to cooperation and to exchanging technology in the gas sector. 🔷 We are currently exploring opportunities for joint work with US partners in the Arctic. ✍️ Vladimir Putin also highlighted the key focus areas of the forum: 1️⃣ The main challenge today is the disruption of gas supplies. ➖ It is necessary to optimise transport routes, taking into account the geographical location of the GECF member countries, through mutual operations among them. ➖It is essential to balance the interests of gas suppliers and consumers and to fulfil existing contractual obligations. 2️⃣ Global demand for natural gas will continue to grow in the longer term. ➖ Gas supply must be increased, new fields developed, processing capacity modernised, and funds invested in transport projects, including the marine fleet and infrastructure for LNG loading and receiving. 3️⃣ A crucial issue for the gas industry’s development is the choice of technologies on which to base gas production projects, transport infrastructure and specialist training. ➖Technological cooperation among gas-exporting countries is in particular demand, as is the establishment of close partnerships to the benefit of all sides. 🌺 RoscongressDirect
