it is in this logic that russia works with partners within the framework of opec plus. we rely primarily on objective market dynamics of oil supply and demand, as well as on industry investment programs. that is why opecplus member countries fully fulfill their obligations and successfully cope with all challenges. i am confident that coordination of the actions of opec plus partners will continue. this is important for the predictability of the oil market, and ultimately for the well-being of all humanity, because the pace of depends on the rate of economic growth and definitely the well-being of people. further, russian gas and coal companies are also switching supplies from the atlantic market to the asian one, and this is not some opportunistic decisions, but a natural process, which is also determined not by geopolitical...

intrigues, but by long-term market trends, as i just said, the trend of economic growth in various regions of the world, we are guided by this, but first of all, of course, we are forced to respond to geopolitical challenges, but above all to these are objective trends, and i will say it again , they are as follows: according to experts, on the horizon until 2050, the demand for natural gas will increase in all regions of the world except north america and europe. at the same time , europe's share of global demand will drop by more than half to 5%. by the way, the share of asia, on the contrary , will increase one and a half times from 21% to 30%. the export of russian gas to the people's republic of china is developing. in 2025 , the power of siberia gas pipeline will reach its design capacity of 38 billion km per year. but there are already deliveries on it today. signed last year

a contract for another route in china, the far east, here the volume of supplies will be 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year , we are discussing other promising projects, in particular transportation through the territory of mongolia, i will add that last week my colleagues and i launched the supply of russian gas to uzbekistan along... the central asia-center wire, it passes through kazakhstan. thanks to this joint project of eurasian scale, consumers of uzbekistan receive a reliable supply of inexpensive and environmentally friendly fuel. kazakhstan will be able to solve the issue of gasification in the northern and eastern regions, and russia will expand its presence in the dynamic markets of central asia. i think this is a good example of energy and infrastructure cooperation. which is beneficial

to all participants in this process, so my colleagues from kazakhstan and uzbekistan and i agreed to work on further projects for the supply of energy resources to these countries. liquefied natural gas occupies an important place in the global energy market. its supplies are not so tied to specific consumers are able to respond more flexibly to changes in market conditions. next year, terminals for receiving lng will operate in 55 countries, and according to estimates, by the end of the decade, the demand for lng in the world may increase by about one and a half times, to 600 million tons per year. at the same time, competition in this segment will, of course, increase. projects have already been announced that will allow doubling the total production capacity in the coming years. russia also has ambitious plans in the field of lng. in the next decade. its

output should triple to 100 million tons per year year. the planned investment volume exceeds 6 rubles. and it is very important for russian projects to be implemented, to realize their competitive advantages in the market, including efficient logistics. and this includes the potential of the northern sea route, as we all know well, of those new ports and transport hubs that we are developing in the arctic. today we are faced with limitations on the supply of equipment technologies, as well as ships for transporting lng. however, i would like to repeat once again, in order to reduce such risks it is not necessary only cooperate with friendly countries, but quickly prepare your own solutions and commission new production facilities. and it works. we are doing this, and a construction center has been launched in murmansk. large-scale offshore

structures. the first floating platform for gas liquefaction has started, the starting line of the arctic lng2 project is already in the production area. its commissioning is already underway. the murmonsky plant has formulated a solid portfolio of orders, which means that the enterprise and its team are provided with reliable in-demand job. dear friends, despite the challenges and difficulties, the russian tech of our company is developing successfully, confidently ensuring national energy security, creating... foundation for our long-term plans in the economy, industry, agriculture, in territorial transport, infrastructure development of the country, in improving quality life of citizens of the russian federation. and of course, russia, as before, will make a significant contribution to balancing the global

energy market, develop partnerships, cooperative relations with those countries, countries that want to be interested in this. sure. such work will bring benefits to all its participants, guarantees the well-being of our peoples for many, many years to come , but of course, not without your active, active participation, thank you for your attention, thank you very much, vladimir vladimirovich, for hearing your detailed speech. i thought that the consequences of western, uh , sanctions against russia are not so bad, this allowed your country, and adapting to these consequences to cope with them is the most

the main thing is to find alternative energy markets, and most importantly, i think that these... consequences have made it so as to attract the hands of those wishing from the country to cooperate with russia independently and regardless of external dictatorship, thank you very much, and before, before inviting mr. sudani and speak, i note that i am responsible: for - the forum asked me to moderate a session in arabic in honor of the iraqi guest, and since i belong to both arab and russian culture,

i will do so with pleasure, mr. prime minister, your word was given. dear mr. president vladimir putin, president of the russian federation, ladies and gentlemen, participants of the forum, russian energy week, greetings before we begin. i listened to the speech of mr. president and would like to emphasize that he is a wise ruler, and responds very correctly to emerging challenges, which lead to the emergence of new opportunities for development, i

wish you good luck, development of success in your work, today on behalf of iraq i will share with you during this russian energy week, i will tell you that in cooperation in the field of energy, in countering energy challenges in the field of oil and gas , these steps ensure progress and prosperity, contribute to the peace we have in this world to all our partners in the global market, that iraq, whose name is enshrined in map of

oil exports and production, is a source of energy and oil resources. our government. year we strive to contribute to strengthening the place of oil and gas as the main sources and energy that are our the backbone of our our economy, use energy while preserving the environment.

projects, and we emphasize that oil countries can play an important role in this area by improving energy efficiency as climate constraints. associated with fossil fuels, not with the fuel itself, oil, creates the necessary opportunity for rivalry and competition, iraq has made great strides in the renewable energy sector, we are developing, solar.

all needs, through renewable energy sources, we strive to achieve this 2030 goal, we want to improve fossil fuel technologies, but most importantly, what we have planned for... in terms of financing investment in the oil and gas sector, so that iraq maintains its place in the world market that matches its capabilities. our government's vision is to offset the needs of the national economy and since the discovery

of oil we have been investing in the gas sector, this has led to increased pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and we have been losing opportunities for development of this sector and were forced to import gas. this had a negative impact on our economy and on the needs of our people, therefore the importance of investing in the gas sector, we plan to issue a license for the development of fields in this sector. we believe that iraq is capable of achieving these goals, uh, we have all

the necessary resources that will strengthen cooperation, creates the foundation for cooperation and achieving success together, in achieving the goals, the goals of peace, bringing our positions closer together, we have chosen, rapprochement and, in order to counter challenges, are interested in diversifying energy sources, energy, in order to expand economic cooperation, strengthen security and reduce challenges, including in the energy sector, that affect national security, undoubtedly, infrastructure projects are... of great importance in trade, in transport, which will

attract donors to projects in the region, our region is rich in natural resources and, and we have experienced a certain period of security problems, there were political difficulties, but we strive for economic integration... based on this vision, we created a project and adopted a development path, this... this project has no analogues, and we began its implementation, it includes a number of economic goals that will have a positive impact on the development of the situation in medium and long-term prospects, we confirm

our readiness to work seriously with the countries of the region and the world in terms of... so that our region turns into a platform for the meeting of interests, so that new jobs appear , and this would contribute to the establishment stability and security. iraq has made a big step forward in terms of developing cooperation, in terms of energy markets, we need coordination, joint, since competition has a negative impact, the adopted coordination mechanisms within opec must continue to work in order to

maintain balance, balance between supply and demand in order to help overcome political challenges that arise from the situation in energy markets, this mechanism contributes to stabilization markets, stabilization of prices in markets, and work within the framework of this mechanism is aimed not only at stabilizing prices, but the entire world market. in the interests of consumers, investors and producers equally, our government, among its priorities, economic reforms, has outlined the transition to renewable energy sources, instead of relying only on oil, we

are undertaking comprehensive development projects in the energy sector, oil and gas. sphere, established and adopted plans that include the development of eleven fields, we call on specialized international companies to invest in these projects, and we, for our part, as the government, are ready to prepare and present all the necessary conditions for the work of the iraqi foreign private sector. we are interested in increasing investment in modern technologies , in infrastructure development, in oil refining infrastructure, and we thank the leadership of the russian federation and

the invitation to take part in this forum, and we. we consider this a great opportunity to open new doors for opportunities to develop cooperation, find renewable energy sources and bring prosperity to the region and the world. thank you very much that the first contact between the slavic civilization and the arabic occurred in the 11th or 10th century, when caliph

abbas from baghdad sent ahmad ibn fadlan with his envoy. to the volga bulgaria, and during this trip of ibn fadlan, he became acquainted with the slavic culture and recorded all this in his work on ibn fadlan’s trip along the volga. this is the first evidence of contact with civilization. and i note that. this traveler described the way of life of the peoples who lived in these lands, then russians, belarusians, and ukrainians. called them all by one name, russians and ibn fadlan, as i noted, arrived from baghdad, this

beautiful city from which our dear guest, muhammad of sudan, arrived, gentlemen, and as you see, the world is experiencing fundamental changes, conflicts, this is energy, moreover, it is impossible to understand the cause of various conflicts without their connection with the topic of energy. russia works responsibly in this area. said about it russian president vladimi vladimirovich putin, then russian energy week

is precisely the forum at which we study the future of this area. and thank you very much for your words, mr. president and mr. prime minister, and now we will talk about what is happening in the middle east. region , which for many decades has forgotten about the concept of calm, we see that another spiral of violence is now spinning in the zone of the palestinian-israeli conflict, which has led to numerous victims, and would like to listen to your positions, the position of russia and the position of iraq, and if i may, mr. president, i would like to start by asking you a question:

a few days ago, the us national security advisor said, proud that the middle east is going through a stage of calm pacification, thanks to... us policy, but now in the middle east, we see escalation in the palestinian-israeli conflict zone, so my question to you, mr. president, who is responsible for this ongoing struggle, which has already lasted 75 years, the only, in fact, presence and occupation in the world that we now see continues there.

yesterday my colleague and i discussed this issue, it is impossible not to discuss it, iraq is a country in the middle east, the palestinian problem is in the heart of every person in this region, yes, i think in the heart of everyone who professes islam. this is how life has developed, these are obvious things , everything that is happening not only now, for decades, is perceived as a manifestation of injustice, elevated to some kind of an incredible degree of why, because initially, when the decision was made to create the state of israel, the decision was made simultaneously, in parallel, to create a second state. initially, the creation of two independent sovereign states, israel and palestine, was going on, well, israel was created, as you know, but palestine as

an independent, sovereign state was never created, did not take place, due to a variety of circumstances, now i will not go into details, moreover , part of the land that palestinians believe they have always considered partly by the original palestinians, by israel, well, at different times and in different ways, but mostly, of course, with the help of military forces, well , what is the problem today, settlement mechanisms have been created, but the united states has neglected these mechanisms over the past few years and they decided to regulate everything on their own, did not use these mechanisms, and in recent years they have relied on satisfying, well , the material needs of the population living in the palestinian territories.

essentially tried to change the decision fundamental political problems, some kind of material handouts, of course, this is very important for people who live on a low standard of living, it is important to solve socio-economic issues, but we have always said that this will not be enough without solving fundamental political ones. .. issues, the main one of which is the creation of a sovereign palestinian state with its capital in jerusalem, which means it is impossible to solve the problem as a whole, nevertheless, this is exactly what the bet was placed on, but besides this, the settlement politics, in addition to this, a number of other components, ultimately led to

such an explosion. violence, what is happening is terrible, we understand that the bitterness on both sides is very great, but no matter how it happens, no matter what the level of bitterness on both sides is, we still need to strive to minimize or reduce zero, to a minimum - losses among the civilian population, among women, children, old people, if men have decided to fight among themselves, let them fight among themselves, leave the children and women. peace, this applies to both sides, well, whether it will be possible to somehow calm the situation in the near future is unknown, but we must strive for this, because the expansion of the conflict zone can lead to dire consequences, by the way, including in the energy sector, i don’t go into detail right now

i would like to go into this, i will give the floor to a person who probably understands this even better than me, since this is the head of government of one of the states in the region, shukrannaya, thank you very much, question, question now to mr. prime minister of iraq, also an assessment of your country that is happening in the palestinian territories, yesterday russia called for immediate action. russia, as one of the permanent members of the security council, in order to stop the aggression that is taking place on this territory, what is iraq’s position in this regard, what is necessary, what needs to be done by the international community, you mentioned, and what needs to be done arab countries, thank you, mr. president, the position on the palestinian issue

is not the position of the government, it is not political position, this is a position that reflects, first of all, our humanitarian urges, and this is a legally justified position, the world ignored this problem. everyone is surprised how this happened, how, why hamas went to this interfada, to resistance, since the palestinian people experienced years and decades of persecution, oppression, non-compliance with all internationally accepted resolutions, more than seventy decisions and resolutions were adopted.

none of them were actually implemented, including by the israeli authorities. that's why what do you expect from a people who have a doctrine, an idea, but their rights are not realized. palestinians are a free people. they are part of the islamic mind, which is over 2 billion people , so, therefore, when we see the results, the consequences of this position, and we see that, that the israelis insist on acting in precisely these ways that...
