Moscow also intends to help Kuala Lumpur develop an energy hub.

"At one time, Santiago was considering the possibility of purchasing Russian petroleum products, including LNG. However, the initiative did not receive further development. In general, we believe that the purchase of gas from Russia could become a promising area of cooperation, primarily for Chile, as part of the diversification of the import matrix and thus strengthening the country's energy security," the diplomatic mission noted.

Previously, Russia had already exported small amounts of energy resources to Argentina and Puerto Rico, and in 2018 the first batch of LNG was delivered to Brazil. In the fall of 2024, the parties discussed how to deepen cooperation in the energy sector, in particular, in gas trade.
