Budapest, March 10 (MTI) - Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, accompanied by a 50-member delegation, will travel to Moscow on Tuesday, the government spokesperson's office said.
While there, Gyurcsany is scheduled to hold talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin with heads of the economy, health, culture and education ministries attending.
The Hungarian Development Bank is scheduled to sign a cooperation agreement with Gazprom on a feasibility study for the planned South Stream gas pipeline, spokesman David Daroczi said. A decision on its construction needs to be made in 24 months and if all goes according to plans, the pipeline may be completed by the end of 2015, he added.
Daroczi said the construction of the Nabucco pipeline remains a priority to Hungary but openness must be maintained to secure that gas arrives from several sources.
The inter-governmental consultation talks will cover issues related to energy policy, a strategy for transport cooperation, possibilities to expand commerce and trade under the conditions of the global economic crisis, and ways to use education and science in this process, he added.
The first and latest Russian-Hungarian intergovernmental consultations were held in Budapest in December 2007.
