Also, a Hydrogen Diplomacy Office was established in Moscow at the beginning of 2022. These offices are tasked with building up a dialogue with strategic partner countries. The offices are to provide expertise and analyses of the local and regional impact of the transformation. A central role is also played by the networking of decision-makers, experts and businesses from both countries. The project is being implemented in cooperation with the GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit). The work is currently suspended.

The Federal Foreign Office has the lead responsibility for this.
