“It’s highly symbolic that we’re discussing this in Ecuador, at the planet’s equator, in the very point where North and South, different development trajectories, literally converge,” said Sergey Brilev. “While we certainly understand that all boundaries are relative in science, still I’d like to point out that Latin America has been shaping not only new markets in recent years, but also new scientific ideas and technologies,” he said.
“The conference in Quito has brought together representatives of dozens of countries, more than 150 participants. Among them are scientists, experts, and industrialists not only from Russia and the host country, Ecuador, but also from Bolivia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, the United States, Uruguay, Chile, and the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), whose headquarters is located in Quito. Also present in the hall are the ambassadors of Russia, Chile, and Iran, as well as diplomats from Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Palestine. Dialogue between regions and cultures is where ideas are born on which sustainable development of the entire world will depend,” the President of the Global Energy Association said in conclusion.
