The Roscongress Foundation
signed a cooperation agreement with the Iranian Institute for International
Energy Studies as part of the Russian Energy Week International Forum,
establishing a special partnership aimed at carrying out joint projects and
achieving mutually beneficial goals. The document was signed by Chairman of the
Board and CEO of the Roscongress Foundation Alexander Stuglev and Head of the
Institute for International Energy Studies Mohammad-Sadek Jokar.
“The Roscongress Foundation
sees the development of international relations and scientific and technical
co-operation as an important raison d’être. The Institute for
International Energy Studies is a reputable institution recognized worldwide
for its work. We are pleased to welcome the Institute’s experts to all
Roscongress Foundation events and look forward to working together on a number
of initiatives,” Stuglev said.
Joint activities of the
Roscongress Foundation and the Institute for International Energy Studies will
include mutual consulting, information and expert support, and information
exchanges aimed at expanding partnerships between representatives of the
business communities in Russia and Iran. The two sides will join efforts in the
development of international cooperation, foreign economic activities, and
collaboration in innovation and will exchange experience in geological
research, healthcare, information and communication technologies (ICT),
economy, energy, and ecology among others.
One focus of co-operation will
consist of engaging Russian associations and development institutions in the
Islamic Republic of Iran. The parties will also seek to maintain a dialogue on
cooperation in investment and finance and energy exports and imports.
Furthermore, there are intentions to intensify public promotion of topics
related to the events to be organized and strengthen communication between
representatives of the organizations.
“Given the importance of
expanding and strengthening trade between Russia and Iran, agreements of this
sort can strengthen co-operation in areas like the energy sector, and Russian
Energy Week was a very good place to sign this document. We hope both sides
will contribute to effective steps being taken under this memorandum,” Jokar
said.
As part of the agreement, the Roscongress
Foundation and the Iranian Institute for International Energy Studies will
organize conferences, seminars, and symposiums of mutual interest, among other
things.
