Moscow, Dec 2 (Prensa Latina) Russia-Canada cooperation agreements signed this week to develop transport infrastructure and exploit other resources in the Arctic Glacial Ocean are of great importance, a well-known political scientist said in this capital on Sunday.
The director of the International Research Center of the US-Canada Studies Institute, Anatoli Utkin, considered that the economic impact of transport of freights between the Russian harbor of Murmansk and the Canadian Churchill will be positive.
Flight schedules agreed during the visit to Canada of Russian Prime Minister VĂ­ctor Zubkov will also contribute to the considerable increase of commercial exchange, emphasized Utkin.
The parties decided to boost investments in the gas field and jointly exploit natural resources, such as silver and uranium.
