Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a working
meeting with German Government’s Special Commissioner for Gas Transit through
Ukraine Georg Graf Waldersee.
They discussed pressing issues of Russian-German trade
and economic cooperation. Cooperation in the energy sector is a strategic
partnership and is pivotal for Russia’s
interaction with the EU, Alexander Novak pointed out during the meeting. “Germany was, is and will remain Russia’s key
European partner in the fuel and energy sector,” Mr Novak said.
Cooperation in the gas sector is an integral part of
relations between the two countries. In 2023, Russia
and Germany will mark the 50th
anniversary of Russian gas supplies to Germany, Alexander Novak said.
The meeting was also used to discuss the possibility
of using the Ukrainian transit route beyond 2024. The parties agreed to
continue the consultations.
