Moscow-Beijing relations are now at their highest point in their entire history. |
Russia and the Czech Republic are well aware of European countries' energy security interests. The parties are therefore expected to voice their support for diversifying Russian gas deliveries to Europe and for the building of the North European Gas Pipeline. |
Russian energy supplies to Hungary in accordance with the current long-term contracts and ambitious joint projects in the oil and gas sector will be high on the agenda. |
The Blue Stream is the largest Russian gas export project in recent years. |
This was an absolutely correct decision because this man deserves highest praise. He is truly a man of peace, not war. |
We are not only working on the construction of the North European Gas Pipeline, but also are continuing to supply natural gas through Ukraine and implement previous projects such as Blue Stream. |
We are not satisfied with the current situation, and regard it as abnormal when the Czech authorities refuse to simplify the visa regime for Russians. |

We have moved into an area of long-term partnership. French entrepreneurs appreciate the legislative measures undertaken by the Russian government. |
We hope that we shall be able to prepare the meeting of the leaders better than Britain in 2005. |
