(MENAFN- AzerNews) The acceleration of the construction of line "D" of the
Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan-China gas pipeline
was discussed by Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's
Republic of China He Lifeng and Chairman of the Upper House of the
Tajik Parliament and Mayor of Dushanbe, Rustam Emomali in Beijing, Azernews reports, citing Interfax.
"It was considered necessary to attract modern Chinese
investments and technologies to the development of the energy
industry in Tajikistan in order to accelerate the construction of
the "D" line of the
Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan-China gas pipeline,"
the website of the Executive body of state power of Dushanbe said.
Emomali is in China on an official visit.
The parties discussed the development of commercial and economic
cooperation, increasing trade volumes, attracting investment from
Chinese business to the economy of Tajikistan, joint projects in
the fields of transport, energy, industry, mineral resources
processing, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, contributing to the
formation of a production chain and the creation of new jobs in
Tajikistan.
As previously reported, the fourth line of the gas pipeline to
China is intended to supply China with an additional 25 bcm of gas
per year as part of the second stage of the development of the
giant Galkynysh gas field in Turkmenistan. Currently, negotiations
are underway and the details of the contract for the start of
drilling and well infrastructure development at Galkynysh are being
agreed upon as part of the second stage. The fourth line of the gas
pipeline, unlike the first three, will pass through Kyrgyzstan, and
not through Kazakhstan.
The first stage of the development of Galkynysh ensured the
production of 30 bcm of gas per year. These volumes of gas go
partially to the domestic market of Turkmenistan and to China
through three lines of the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan-China
gas pipeline.
