Russia is implementing reforms and strengthening its sovereignty in the energy sector, with successfully changing and expanding the geography of energy exports, particularly to rapidly growing markets such as India, China, the Asia-Pacific region, and South America for the supply of oil, gas and coal, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said during a meeting recently.

Lavrov highlighted that these supplies contribute to constraining the rise in energy prices for partner countries and enhancing their economic stability.
