“25 years is a relatively short period of time. But together with our German partners we’ve managed to achieve quite a lot during these 25 years. We began with simple cooperation in the area of gas supplies and today we work together across the entire value chain in the gas industry – from upstream to downstream. Together we’ve delivered large-scale projects, which boosted the European gas market development and helped to create a gas transmission network not only in Germany, but in other European countries as well.
Our cooperation with BASF/Wintershall may serve as an example of trust between the companies, example of strategic vision of the business development and a striking illustration of significant contribution to the EU energy security. With our German partners we have great plans and new ambitious projects lying ahead. I am absolutely sure we’ll be able to successfully accomplish them,” said Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee.
“Our cooperation makes outstanding contribution towards securing energy supplies to Europe,” noted Kurt Bock, Chairman of the BASF Board of Executive Directors at the ceremony. He said that it was the time when the Russian-German partnership offered good chances. “Business can build bridges. BASF/Wintershall and Gazprom are keen to further advance their cooperation,” Kurt Bock said. He also reminded that it was not just long-term business relations that had bonded the companies together. “We are connected by a potential that opens up the bright future for our businesses. I am confident that Russia is and will remain a major and reliable supplier of oil, natural gas and other energy sources to Europe, and Europe is and will remain an important and stable sales market for Russia. We are proud of our achievements and we are happy to tackle future challenges,” summarized Kurt Bock.
