Myanmar began to buy oil products from Russia

In a few days, the first delivery of diesel fuel from Russia to Myanmar will be made, which has begun the purchase of Russian oil products, the country's leader, Prime Minister and head of the State Administrative Council Min Aung Hlein (pictured) announced.

- Deliveries of oil products from Russia to Myanmar are already being successfully carried out. In a few days we will receive the first delivery of diesel fuel from Russia, - RIA Novosti quotes the words of the politician spoken on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.

He stressed that payment will be made in the currency "in which the Russian side accepts." And Min Aung Hlein.

I called it a plus, since it is much more convenient to make transactions this way.

- This greatly simplifies our task, because in other currencies there are many restrictions on receiving and transferring. Therefore, if this issue is resolved and we could pay in rubles, this is good, - he stressed.

By the way, India has more than tripled its imports of oil products from Russia compared to previous years, to nearly 100,000 barrels per day (bpd). China became the main importer of Russian oil in July with a supply volume of 1.06 million bpd.
