Iran says has no plan for gas swap to Russia

15 December 2011, 08:24 (GMT+04:00)
Managing Director of National Iranian Gas Exporting Company Hossein Bidarmaghz rejected reports that Iran has planned to pump gas to Russia, ISNA reported.
The reports on Tehran's decision for gas swap to Moscow came whereas Russia is the world's biggest gas producer seeking major gas adventures. The reports are astonishing since Iran and Russia do not share borders and such a project needed involvement of other countries or employment of submarine pipelines.
"We seek cooperation with the major gas producer instead of competition with the country in the world's gas market, but it does not mean Iran's gas export to Russia," Hossein Bidarmaghz told ISNA.
He continued, "There is no justification for Iran's gas swap to Russia as the biggest gas exporter and that there are many clients for Iran's gas in Europe. We can have gas swap with Russia if it is interested in gas swap with neighboring countries."
Iran is ranked second in the world in terms of gas reserves. It is followed by Qatar and comes after Saudi Arabia.

NEW DELHI/MOSCOW, December 15 (RIA Novosti)
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is arriving in Russia on a visit, the Indian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
During his visit, Singh plans to discuss military and technological cooperation, ways to boost economic development, nuclear power industry as well as science and medicine partnership with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other top officials.
Up to ten cooperation agreements, mainly in the defense and energy spheres, will be signed during the visit.
The sides will also discuss a number of international problems.
Shortly before his visit, the Indian premier said Russia-India relations are unique.
“It is impossible to draw any parallels or compare the relations between India and Russia and our relations with some other countries. We [India and Russia] have a specially privileged strategic partnership,” Singh told Russian journalists accredited in India.
Bilateral trade in 2010 totaled some $9-10 billion. The countries plans to double it by 2015.
The bilateral military cooperation program in particular stipulates that Russia will transfer the K-152 Nerpa attack submarine to India on a 10-year lease by the end of 2011. The deal was signed in 2004.
Other aspects of cooperation include the planned delivery of INS Vikramaditya (the former Soviet aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov) to India in December 2012 after an upgrade, and the contract to supply India with 80 Mil Mi-17 Hip-H helicopters, expected to be fulfilled by the end of 2013.
Russia is also building the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in southern India.
