RF, Moroccan audit chambers to seal coop deal before yearend.
RABAT, March 3 (Itar-Tass) - The audit chambers of Russia and Morocco agreed to sign an agreement on cooperation until the end of the year, Russian chief auditor Sergei Stepashin told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
Stepashin is visiting Morocco at the invitation of his counterpart
Ahmed El Midaoui.
"We have such agreements on cooperation with fifty-two states,
including those in Africa with the Republic of South Africa, Angola and
Tunis," he said.
In compliance with the document Russia and Morocco plan "to hold
several joint surveys, in particular those concerning economic and
military-technical cooperation," he said.
The two countries' audit chambers "agreed to exchange experience in
assessing the government's anti-crisis actions." "We will discuss this
theme at the forum in South Africa in autumn that will bring together
financial controllers from all over the world," Stepashin said.
"The talks with El Midaoui proceeded well. We had an extremely sincere
conversation of two people speaking one and the same professional
language," the Russian chief auditor said adding that "the parties agreed
to hold prompt and regular contacts in the future."
Stepashin described his visit to Morocco as "successful."
"We managed to persuade the Moroccan side to sign an agreement on
cooperation soon and agreed on more active joint work, which is underway
with other financial control bodies," he said.
.Turkmen leader says his country open to energy coop with UK.
ASHGABAT, March 3 (Itar-Tass) - Turkmenistan is open to deeper energy
cooperation with Britain, Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov
said at the meeting with Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change
and Deputy Leader of the House of Lords, Lord Hunt, on Tuesday.
"Being adherent to the principle of diversification of its fuel export
routes Turkmenistan is always open to broad and mutually advantageous
cooperation," he said.
Lord Hunt led a delegation of senior officials to the second meeting
of the Turkmen-British energy business forum hosted by Ashgabat, the
government's press service said.
Berdymukhamedov and Lord Hunt named as priority the fuel and energy
sector, where the two countries' partnership meets the interests of
ensuring global energy security.
Philip Hunt stressed that energy security and the creation of new
energy corridors to Europe remain the priority for EU member-states. He
pointed to a special role of Turkmenistan that consistently and
successfully creates a multi-variant system of hydrocarbon exports.
Representatives of British Petroleum, Shell, Gaffney Cline, Hermes,
Denton and Skybridge expressed their readiness to provide newest
technologies to the Central Asian republic and to invest in its oil and
gas projects.
.Opportunities for talks with Iran still available - Churkin.
UNITED NATIONS, March 3 (Itar-Tass) - Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin
has expressed confidence that opportunities for the talks with Iran are
still available.
"The position of Russia is that it is necessary to search for
political and diplomatic solutions and opportunities for the talks with
Iran," he told a news conference at the UN headquarters on Tuesday.
The Russian diplomat expressed the hope that "in relation to concrete
issues : it is still possible to get a positive response from the Iranian
side." "We hope to see such a reaction from Iran that will allow to
continue the six-party talks with Tehran on the whole range of relations,"
he said.
Churkin declined to name any date of possible adoption of a new
resolution against Iran in case of the sextet's failure to build mutual
understanding with Tehran.
The six world powers, including Russia, China, the United States,
Britain, France and Germany, still fail to agree on the need of additional
sanctions against Iran. In particular, China announced that it is not high
time to take any new measures against Tehran, as members of the UN
Security Council have already adopted five resolutions against that
country. Iran is under three sets of U.N. Security Council sanctions for
refusing to stop its program.
Western countries insist that Iran develops its nuclear program for
military purposes, while Tehran says it is developing its nuclear power
for civilian purposes.
