"It is important that this reputable forum has again brought together well known politicians, members of the business, academic and specialist communities for comprehensive and motivated debates over the key issues of the Russian energy industry development, aimed at improving its efficiency and eco-friendliness.
"I expect that the results of the fourth International Energy Week will contribute to increased professional cooperation at the regional and international levels while attracting sufficient investment to implement high-technology projects in the Russian fuel and energy industry."
