Novak: Russia is discussing the growth of gas supplies for the domestic markets of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan

“We are discussing with our partners from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan the growth of gas supplies to their domestic market, as their consumption is increasing,” he said.

Novak also said that China is the main consumer of pipeline gas from Russia.

“Taking into account the already planned projects, deliveries can amount to 100 billion cubic meters per year,” he said.

Earlier, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Yuri Sentyurin said that negotiations between Russia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan on the creation of a gas union are ongoing.
