relief assistance, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin said Tuesday, Kyodo News
reported.
Sechin also told reporters that the state-run monopoly Gazprom is transporting
100,000 tons of liquefied natural gas on a tanker in the first batch of energy
support following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan's
northeast.
Possible future support could involve coal and electricity supplies, Sechin
said, adding the Kremlin has proposed to Japan that a bilateral working-level
group be set up to discuss quake-related relief measures.
Sechin reiterated earlier in the day Moscow's readiness to provide every
possible support to Japan in a meeting with Japanese Ambassador to Russia
Masaharu Kono, who expressed gratitude for Russia's aid, according to officials
familiar with their talks.
