PARIS (Sputnik) – Azizollah Ramezani told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Gas Congress industry convention in Paris that his company had agreed to cooperate with Russia’s energy giant Gazprom.
"I think we can work on sharing technologies, exchange of information on technologies… For example, Russia has long-standing experience in gas exports and gas transit pipelines. Iran has good experience in CNG [compressed natural gas] and the use of natural gas in vehicles."
Iran is awaiting the removal of energy-related sanctions imposed on the country by the United Nations and individual states over fears it was developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program.
The deadline for a final comprehensive nuclear deal between international negotiators and Tehran is set for June 30.
