По линии ТЭК речь шла об условиях работы совместного предприятия «Вьетсовпетро» во Вьетнаме, включая возможности его участия в новых проектах по разработке месторождений на шельфе страны.

Vietnam currently has no nuclear power project. In September, the Ministry of Industry & Trade was tasked with studying development of nuclear power as a baseload source.

“In the past three months, my visiting Russia twice demonstrates our close relationship and deepening friendship,” Modi said Tuesday in televised remarks. Putin also praised the “strategic partnership” between the two countries.

BRICS member countries currently have 390 GWe of operable nuclear power units with a further 66 MWe under construction.

Russian-Chinese cooperation has acquired the nature of a comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction that enter a new era.

China remains the biggest buyer of Russian coal but Moscow has said India may overtake it by the start of the next decade as Beijing plans cutbacks on coal usage for power generation.

Electricity being the key driver for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation sets the target of providing access to all households.

Russia ranks third globally in coal reserves (182 billion tons) and is the sixth-largest coal producer in the world (accounting for 4.5% of global coal production). Russia’s coking coal is typically used in metallurgy production such as steel manufacturing.

"We can use renewable power to the maximum, and we will restart nuclear power, the safe one, as much as possible," Muto told reporters at his first media event as the minister for economy, trade and industry (METI).

The world’s biggest polluter can cut its carbon dioxide emissions by at least 30% by 2035 by continuing trends in the power sector and extending efforts in other industries

India plans to connect 35 GW of solar and wind energy capacity to its grid during the fiscal year 2024-2025,

Inner Mongolia, which leads China in coal production this year, already has 88 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity, with another 170 gigawatts in the pipeline. That’s a combined total that would dwarf the power fleet of Germany.

Amid the lower projections, the department said, "India remains the key export destination for Australian metallurgical coal along with Japan, with volumes remaining relatively stable for both."

India’s Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has authorised the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution (MSEDCL) to procure an additional 5,991 MW of solar capacity through competitive bidding.

A focus of this initiative is the exploration of nuclear power, prompted by the need to bolster base load power and minimise environmental impacts.
