Japan's Marubeni Corp. is interested in joint projects with Rosneft, according to a statement on the Magadan region web site.
Marubeni is in talks with Rosneft on participating in oil and gas projects in the Sea of Okhotsk to supply Asian markets, the statement said, citing a Marubeni official.
The regional administration expects Rosneft to complete license agreements to develop blocks off the coast of Magadan in September. The Japanese company also expressed an interest in mining in the region.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
