Gazprom headquarters hosted today a working meeting between Mr Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Company Management Committee and Mr Ken Kobayashi President and CEO of Mitsubishi Corporation.

The meeting participants discussed cooperation between the two companies as part of the Sakhalin II project and stressed that additional LNG supplies by Sakhalin Energy and LNG deliveries from the Company own portfolio contributed considerably to restoring sustainable energy supply to Japan and strengthening regional energy security.

Mr Alexey Miller noted that “Based upon the projects implemented so far the Japanese party realized that Gazprom is a reliable partner. Thus, the Sakhalin II project has become a symbol of successful cooperation between Russia and Japan in the energy sector. Apparently, the Japanese market will demonstrate the demand for considerable amount of additional Russian natural gas. Gazprom is ready to develop wide and mutually beneficial cooperation with Japan fully meeting the additional demand for gas.”
