Russia will supply gas to Denmark as the Nord Stream pipeline project is scheduled to be commissioned this year. Denmark has confirmed its intention to assist Russia in implementation of other energy projects as well.
Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin arrived in Copenhagen on Tuesday accompanied by a group of the country’s leading businessmen to offer Denmark a portfolio of promising agreements. The results of the talks proved that both countries are interested in turning a fresh page in energy cooperation.
During the talks with his Danish counterpart Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Mr. Putin thanked Denmark for joining the Nord Stream project. Denmark was the first country to approve the construction of the pipeline on its territory. When the new route is launched, Denmark will be purchasing from Russia 1 billion cubic meters of gas, with plans to buy 1 billion cubic meters more with time. First supplies are scheduled this year, said Mr. Putin.
