en.Wedoany.com Reported - Alexey Kulapin, General Director of the Russian Energy Agency (REA) under the Ministry of Energy of Russia, stated at the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that energy cooperation between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and ASEAN will focus on statistical data coordination, experience exchange, and talent development.

Within the framework of the energy statistical coordination project, both sides have achieved phased progress. A joint seminar held in Jakarta in April 2026 plans to produce a "Compilation of Recommendations" and a training course titled "Energy Statistics: New Opportunities in Data Management." This year, Russia will also host a week-long seminar for representatives of ASEAN countries. The "Energy Statistics Handbook" published by the Russian Energy Agency in 2025 is planned to be promoted for use by both unions.

Experts from the Russian Energy Agency participated in the preparation of the "ASEAN Energy Outlook 2050." Additionally, the agency annually implements the InteRussia International Energy Internship Program for Southeast Asian experts, aiming to provide opportunities to understand Russia's scientific research agenda and advanced technological solutions.

Kulapin emphasized that against the backdrop of a volatile global energy landscape, Russia, through the EAEU, offers ASEAN proven solutions involving common markets, digital platforms, statistical coordination, and energy transition. Special attention is given to expanding the use of natural gas as a foundation for achieving a stable and equitable energy transition in Asian countries.
