Vladimir Putin Sends Greetings to Russian Energy Week Participants

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has sent greetings to the participants, organizers, and guests of the Russian Energy Week (REW) International Forum on the president’s official website. The central theme of REW 2023, which will take place on 11–13 October at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall in Moscow, is ‘The New Reality of Global Energy: Building the Future’.

In his greeting, Putin noted that in recent years, REW has rightfully become one of the most prominent international platforms for discussing current issues related to the energy and fuel industry. The Forum brings together the heads of leading companies and scientific institutes, as well as politicians and experts from Russia and other countries, to assess trends and prospects for the development of the fuel and energy sector, exchange views on technological challenges facing the industry, consider problems related to the environment and climate change.

Putin stated that achievements that shape the future of both Russian and global energy will be presented as part of the REW 2023 business programme. There will be reports on immediate and long-term priorities in the oil, gas, coal, and electric power industries. Discussions will be held on how to strengthen Russia’s technological sovereignty and the digital transformation of the domestic fuel and energy industry.

“Special attention will be paid to international energy cooperation. Despite the current geopolitical conditions, this area of focus is actively evolving today. Economic growth, scientific and technological progress, and improvements to the quality of life of people around the world directly depend on how effectively the potential of this partnership is utilized,” Putin said in his message to the REW participants.

Putin expressed confidence that the recommendations developed during REW and the agreements signed on its sidelines will help to strengthen cooperation in this strategic area and build a prosperous future for the countries and peoples of the world.
