Kazakhstan's "Kazaq Gaz" company suggested to "Gazprom" to consider the possibility of creating a new transit gas pipeline from Russia to China.

According to the information provided by "APA-Economics" with reference to the Russian press, Arman Kasenov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of "Kazaq Gaz" said this.

According to him, the construction of this pipeline can contribute to the gasification of eastern Kazakhstan.

Arman Kasenov noted that the proposal defined by the road map between the government of Kazakhstan and business entities has already been made and is being considered by "Gazprom".

At the same time, according to him, it is impossible to provide the north and east of Kazakhstan with its own gas resources in the short term: "Therefore, we hope for the newly created conditions for the possible import of Russian gas."
