Russia could help build a natural gas pipeline linking Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov said.
Speaking after a meeting with the heads of Brazilian energy companies during his visit to Brazil, Fradkov said that Russian companies could participate in the construction of a transcontinental natural gas pipeline, a project estimated to cost between $15 billion and $23 billion. He added, however, that no specific projects had been proposed yet, UPI reported.
Fradkov also said that Russian-Brazilian trade volume should reach $10 billion by 2010.
Boris Alyoshin, head of Russia`s Federal Agency for Industry, said a wide range of issues had been discussed during meetings in Rio de Janeiro this week, including Russian involvement in the use of developed deposits, hydro- and bio-energy projects, and the construction of electricity grids in Brazil.
Alyoshin said Russia and Brazil had been forging a technological alliance “covering a wide range of areas —- the energy sector, including nuclear energy, space, aircraft building and even agriculture.”
