“"We are ready to expand cooperation between research institutions of our countries and to development of joint projects in the exploration sphere. We pay particular attention to creation of mechanisms of technology partnership, which will make it possible to ensure stability of energy supplies in conditions of transformation of the global energy sector," Marshavin said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific statement regarding Marshavin's readiness to expand cooperation on research institutions and technology partnerships for energy stability is only present in the context of web search results discussing his meetings, but the evidence provided does not offer enough independent corroboration (i.e., it is not repeated by 2+ different, independent sources outside the initial context). The web search results provided for this claim relate to his meetings with Sri Lanka, not Nigeria, which weakens the direct corroboration for the specific content.
