“It is evident that the world needs gas and that Iran and Russia can use such a rich capacity to pursue their joint objectives in this field,” Hamid-Reza Araqi told Shana following a meeting with Gazprom’s deputy chairman of the Management Committee, Alexander Medvedev here on Wednesday.
“NIGC has considerable experience, for example, in construction of gas pipelines, storage facilities, and gas refineries and can cooperate with Gazprom in these areas,” he said.
Saying that some 3.3 million cars in Iran are running on gas, he added, “CNG can be another area of bilateral cooperation between NIGC and Gazprom.”
The two delegations were planned to negotiate implementation of agreements reached on joint engineering, operation, commercial, and research projects, said NIGC director of international relations, Azizollah Ramezani.
“NIGC and Gazprom will hold several rounds of talks to review cooperation areas under five committees,” he said prior to the first round of meetings with the 25-member Russian delegation.
