Energy joint projects, primarily the development of oil and gas deposits, are the base of investment cooperation. “We’re planning to start the joint development of shelf fields, the construction of a thermal power station using petroleum coke and the launch of a joint venture to increase productive capacity of oil reservoirs at the fields, which have developed for a long time,” he said.
“Russian-Venezuelan military-technical cooperation is also developing,” Lukashevich said.
Educational, cultural and humanitarian cooperation is the priority in Russian-Venezuelan relations, he said. Lukashevich noted progress in student exchanges, contacts between scientists and arts workers. This will help Russia and Venezuela increase the level of mutual understanding between the peoples, he said.
