The Gazprom delegation met with heads of delegations from GECF member countries to discuss the bilateral cooperation issues as well as cooperation development between major gas producers at the multisided level, reported the press-centre of Gazprom.
Alexey Miller highly appreciated the decisions made at the Forum on setting up a high level working group to prepare an agenda for the next meeting which will be held in Moscow as well as providing large-scale investigation of the existing gas market from the view of the gas exporting countries. Alexey Miller underscored that it will be the next important stage towards developing efficient international organization to unite the major gas exporters. “The gas market security is a top-priority issue and major players necessitate tight coordination of their activities, production and investment plans as well as export strategies. Only through joint efforts it is possible to provide demand and supply security on the hydrocarbon market as well as market development predictability. It is important both for gas suppliers and consumers,” underlined Alexey Miller.
