Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will visit Russia and Japan between October 22 and 26 to boost energy ties with the two nations. The visit is a follow-up to the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Vladivostok, Russia, for the Eastern Economic Forum last month, an official statement said here.
“During his visit, the minister will have meetings with Sergey Tyrtsev, First Deputy Minister for Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic, and with Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft,” it said. He will also visit the shipbuilding Complex, Zvezda and the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project in Russia’s Far East. “Possible areas of collaboration in other sectors like coking coal, and shipping routes will also be discussed,” it said.
During the visit, Engineers India Ltd (EIL) will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Russian National Chamber of Engineers to provide its services for upcoming projects across the hydrocarbons value chain in Russia.
