Canada and Russia Meet to Promote Joint Oil and Gas Investments

Canada and Russia, the only net crude-oil exporters in the Group of Eight nations, will seek ways to promote joint energy projects that may lead to a global supply network, ministers from both countries said.

David Emerson, Canada’s trade minister, met in Ottawa today with Russian Agriculture Minister Alexei Gordeyev to update foreign-investment rules and technology standards that they say have hampered trade.
