Priority gas industry development projects are unperceivable without state-of-the-art technologies and require bringing together the unique sci-tech potential and experience of Russian and foreign companies, maintained Mr Medvedev.
The document signed will give a new strong stimulus for deeper mutually beneficial and long-term cooperation between the two companies, said Mr Bergmann.
