Energy Bridge between Russia and Algeria Russia and Algeria are taking energy cooperation to a strategic level. During the talks, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Roman Marshavin and the head of the Algerian Ministry of Energy Mohamed Arkab agreed on comprehensive cooperation - from joint work in OPEC+ to the implementation of infrastructure projects in third African countries. For Algeria, which has the fourth largest shale gas reserves in the world and significant renewable energy potential, partnership with Russia opens access to unique technologies for developing complex fields and building power generation facilities. Russian companies (Rosneft, Lukoil, Inter RAO) have already been invited to participate in tenders for the development of new fields and the creation of energy infrastructure. The agreement on the protection of critical infrastructure is of particular importance - Russia is ready to ensure the cybersecurity of key facilities of the Algerian energy system. Among other things, the parties agreed to start joint projects in other African countries. It is quite possible that this refers to the Sahel Alliance, where both Russia and Algeria have growing political and economic influence. #AREA#Russia#Africa#Algeria#energy
