“Russia, with its unique resource base, is capable of ensuring the energy security of the entire Eurasian region. The total value of our country’s natural wealth is nearly $100 trillion — almost twice that of the United States,” he said at the Russia–China Energy Business Forum.
Sechin emphasized Russia's continued role as a key global energy player, noting it accounts for roughly 15% of the world's hydrocarbon exports. “Our cooperation fully aligns with the principle outlined by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Fourth Plenum: ‘Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee of security,’” he added.
