Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law ratifying the agreement with the Republic of the Congo on the construction of an oil product pipeline, according to the Legal Information Portal on June 7.
The corresponding document bearing Putin’s signature was published on the portal. Ratification means the approval of the terms of an international treaty by state authorities, granting the agreement legal force.
Russia intends to invest in the construction of the Pointe-Noire – Lutete – Maloukou-Trechot oil pipeline. Representatives of the two countries signed the agreement on September 28, 2024. The project was commissioned by the Congolese National Petroleum Company, and the contractor will be LLC “Zakneftegazstroy-Prometey.”
The pipeline is expected to be built within three years and operated for around 30 years. Congo aims to achieve energy stability through the project and become a guarantor of that stability for the surrounding regions.
