Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday called for more transparency of the international energy market.
Sending a message to the World Energy Congress, which opened in Rome on Sunday, Putin said "only successive and open dialogue may create more transparency energy market and establish trade rules."
As a major energy producing country, Russia is a big energy provider for Europe. Quarrels often arise between Russia and some European countries over supply of oil and gas.
In January this year, the quarrels between Russia and Belarus had led to the supply disruption of Russian oil to Germany and Poland.
In his message, the Russian President also stressed that "the principles of justice and mutual respect" should be adhered to in dealing with energy trade issue.
During the upcoming five-day conference in Rome, security of energy supply is among the agenda for the speakers.
