The Gazprom Headquarters hosted today a working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Company’s Management Committee and Nguyen Minh Triet, President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

The parties discussed the main issues of further Russian – Vietnamese cooperation deepening in the oil and gas sector.

The Agreement also contemplates cooperation between the companies in promising projects in third countries, including when exploring and developing gas and oil fields.

On May 23, 2008 Gazprom and Petrovietnam inked the Agreement for Further Cooperation. The Agreement provides for geological exploration and further development of four new blocks offshore Vietnam, as well as setting up a joint venture, Gazpromviet, for operations in Russia and third countries.
