Russia's Rosatom & Burkina Faso Ink Roadmap for Developing Cooperation on Nuclear Energy
On Monday, senior officials and representatives from about 75 countries worldwide gathered in the Russian federal territory of Sirius on the Black Sea coast to take part in the 2024 Atomexpo International Forum on nuclear energy.
Russia's state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, and Burkina Faso inked a roadmap at the 2024 Atomexpo International Forum for developing cooperation on nuclear energy, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
"The roadmap has a certain number of components. First, it will be about the training component, the public opinion component and the infrastructure component," the Burkinabe Minister of Energy, Mines and Quarries Yacouba Zabré Gouba told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the forum.
Then, in the coming months, it will be a matter of developing an "agreement which sets the normative framework for cooperation between Rosatom and Burkina Faso"
According to the roadmap, the
construction of a nuclear power plant is planned in Burkina Faso, the minister disclosed.
"The establishment of this power plant will initially help reduce the energy deficit and eventually
support all sectors of Burkina Faso's socio-economic life," Gouba said.
"So, there will be discussions to see whether this collaboration should be continued," concluded the senior official. However, he said he is confident about the possibility of reaching an
agreement to make this project a reality.
"We believe that Russia, with the experience it has, will be able to better support Burkina Faso towards its energy independence," Gouba noted.
Along with Burkina Faso, Rosatom is enhancing partnership with other Africa nations, including
Mali, Zimbabwe and Burundi, with which agreements on cooperation in the field of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes were signed.
