Russia has sought the cooperation of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus to continue the work of Russian state-owned Gazprom International in gas exploration in Bangladesh.
Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander G. Khozin made the request when he called on the Chief Adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder said.
Gazprom has been present in Bangladesh since 2012 and working as a partner in exploring gas reserves. In 2023, Gazprom International discovered five new wells for further exploration in Bhola.
Chief Adviser Prof Yunus thanked Gazprom for the necessary preparations for drilling five wells in Bhola and informed that the Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources was working on the issue.
