Uzbekistan is preparing to begin the process of transferring natural gas from Russia through Kazakhstan in October.
Sangar Zarkishov, Chairman of Kazaq Gas National Company, inspected the projects of Uzbekistan’s new gas transport system as part of his working visit to the country.
Kazak Gas and Gazprom signed an agreement last May to transport natural gas through Kazakhstan’s territory to Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan uses Russian gas through Kazakh territory to meet domestic natural gas needs.
