Russian President Vladimir Putin will participate in Russian Energy Week (REW) in Moscow, where he will address the forum's main business event during the plenary session. The visit of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani to Moscow coincides with REW, and he will also take part in the discussions. The two leaders had bilateral talks earlier, discussing topics including the energy sector, and they emphasized the successful coordination between Moscow and Baghdad within the OPEC+ framework to stabilize global energy markets.
REW is scheduled to run from October 11 to 13 and will bring together government representatives from various countries, leaders of major energy companies and organizations, as well as experts and scientists. This year's central theme is "New Reality of World Energy: Creating the Future"
Putin praised REW as a significant international event in the global energy sector, where specialists and experts can discuss the present and future of the industry. He highlighted the importance of international energy cooperation, which is actively progressing despite current geopolitical conditions.
Traditionally, at the REW plenary session, President Putin provides an overview of the global energy market, discusses Russia's role and stance, and outlines key objectives in the domestic energy sector. This sets the stage for other panelists to share their perspectives on pressing issues. According to the program on the REW website, the discussion is expected to last approximately two hours.
