it has been good for the country let's get to transit again, because there are many transit agencies in the country. hopefully, it will be implemented based on the proposal of the ministry of roads and reflected in the 7th plan. hopefully , there should be a commanding person for transit who is the minister of roads . hopefully, it will be established. this is the first point of software . in the hardware platform, what is our task is two parts, one is the appropriate ship capacity , and the ship container is of different types of ships, and there is a port capacity that must be prepared . can we have ports in the caspian sea now? the islamic republic of iran has a capacity of 35 million tons. the performance of these ports, for example, 8 million tons during the year , is far from the capacity we have. part of it is due to the lack of suitable ships. iranian ships do not have iranian shipping companies. yes, but the volume that the goods are being handled, well, depending on the volume, bulk goods and container goods are being handled . it is debatable, that is, right now, for examp

i wanted to come back to the issue of the energy transition.hat it's going to be a gradual process. i mean, we talk about, and our analysis of the world bank showed you can decarbonise the moroccan economy gradually by the 2050s but this is a fairly long time, right? so right now morocco is reliant more than 90% on fossil fuels so it will be a gradual process. there may be a role, a transition role for natural gas in that process and then you build up your renewable energy and then because of the intermittency, i mean, the sun is not always shining, the wind is not always blowing, you need to firm it up, you need to invest in storage technology, which is expensive. so this is why it is going to be a gradual process that will happen over two, three, decades and also green hydrogen will play an important role. we know the moroccan government are undertaking a set of reforms just to make business and investment in this country easier. do they go far enough? is it helping you, as a country? it's evolving slowly for us. we wish it would go faster bu

i talked about this a year and three months ago. cubic meters of gas transit through ukraine and about 25 billion cubic meters of e-e gas on e-e chinese e-e power siberia e-e that’s all , even if it were $1,000 for 1000 cubic meters of gas, russia will not sell at least 100-120 billion cubic meters of gas, that’s the first that is, they do not actually receive 80% of the volume of gas, they receive, you understand, but i left 620%. i think that some data is being leaked that the trade there with china has led to such a valuable $200 per thousand cubic meters of gas. so , europe. i think that they are also cheaper than $300, as they do not sell and do not they sell it, so i think it’s safe to say, i don’t know 90%, one receives from gas exports, in fact, they are still on the map of the world as exporters. andriy, you mentioned that about 22 billion of russian gas is still pumped through ukraine on year, how profitable is it for us from a political, economic, and military point of view, is it the continuation of the transportation of russian gas through our territories ? they gave up ru

it's thieves and transit i understand that no one doubts eggs. uh, and does not hide the fact that the geopolitical location of iran can fill in the gaps that were previously, uh, present and there was this way and the route is very reliable. eh, very promising. especially with the participation of our russian colleagues, who, uh , with all their might, uh, joined this agreement in this project. i think uh. and i would like to re-emphasize that uh, this project has three branches. eastern branch. uh, the russian federation to kazakhstan turkmenistan and iran is the eastern branch. uh, and i must say that with uh a common effort. uh, this route is already active and the flight mode without being used several times. e s the central branch is through the caspian sea as a great potential. we need to strengthen e-capacity in our ports . uh, all sites of russian companies. this also applies to work, if the western branch, which is missing is still uh and this part is missing between the aster and yes, uh implementation of the agreement, we can fill thi

for the country that has now established a transit line, how helpful it is to approve our trade withries countries and how much can you reduce the costs and time for shipping and trade, that from fernand gulf to shahid rajaei port of iran , currently we need 33 days for the sea route . this route is on the map of the gulf of finland, the persian gulf and bandar abbas by ja iran, this is the yellow line that you see , this is the new combined mosque line of the sea rail that will be realized with the completion of the rasht stara railway. it will be transportation, time and cost, and this will be added instead the line lamp we have is from the sea, how much can it reduce and how much the cost of planting at the same time can be corrected from this. colleagues , please note the blue route on the left side of the map. this route from the persian gulf of tehran to bandar abbas, iran, takes about 33 days of open sea transportation. the same correspondence from the persian gulf to the port of karachi in pakistan is 41 days, from the persian gulf of tehran to the port of delhi, india, 35 da

people think the transition has to continue.ple still think that war is not going to bring any peace or stability for sudan. but again,, the position taken by the sudanese armed forces is that there is going to be negotiation right now with the rsf. at least with the deputy, his brother. so the fear is there that a fragmented sudan will make it worse for everyone in the region, for the horn of africa, for neighboring countries like ethiopia or chad, but no one has an interest for this to happen. not the international community at large, who have invested too much on having a political agreement or framework agreement . it is still a possibility. for now who is fighting, it is basically the and miscellaneous armed forces -- the rsf and the sudanese armed forces. until now, it is remote, but we can see we can see who is fighting and who is controlling these weapons. but then the risk is there that there is no "oppression for these troops to leave khartoum. the risk is high. and then excitedly we're are in a position where sudan is

well, the important topic that i announced yesterday is that ukraine can allow the transit of russianmmonia with the expansion of the grain agreement. russian gas goes through the ukrainian gas transportation system - this is money that goes to kill ukrainians, then it gets it russia has agreements with foreign companies, we adhere to these agreements because really we the executing state, but here the question arises: a new path has been opened for the revenues of the russian federation, well, in fact, we wanted to talk about this with a guest whose contact we are waiting for, we have dmytro hordeichuk, the founder and project manager of the info industry good evening good evening, friends, mr. dmytro well, this is a rather difficult topic but in fact it is important, how much ammonia is really necessary for russia, in particular, the income from the export of ammonia , why is the kremlin pedaling this topic? and here on the lever on the scales of the scales, in fact, vasyl, what seems to me to be ammonia and ukrainian grain well, comment on the situation. do we still need to go to t
