The forum was opened by Director General of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation Sergey Kiriyenko, who said that Rosatom was ready to consider different scenarios of cooperation with foreign partners and to invest own funds in some of the projects. «One of the possibilities is Turkey. Shortly, we are expecting to receive a response to our tender offer to build a nuclear power plant in that country: there we are ready not only to build but also to invest."

The Baltic NPP project may become one more example of joint investment. 50% + 1 shares will belong to Rosatom, the rest — to foreign partners. Kiriyenko confirmed that the general contractor of the project would be Atomstroyexport.
