Uzbekistan's Minister of Energy Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, amid the Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Business Forum, has opined on the roadmap for cooperation with Russia's Gazprom on gas imports, inked on January 24. The document provides for the working group to examine the technical measures to implement gas transit through Central Asia – Center gas pipeline system through the territories of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
'The roadmap provides for measures to import natural gas from Russia. That is, we will study the technical conditions, and then, based on technical capabilities, if we agree on commercial prices, we will consider gas imports from Russia.
After gas enters the pipeline, we distribute it to all consumers – residents and industrial companies. Yesterday we explained to journalists and showed the document's main content. It does not mean privatization or management of the gas transport system.
Earlier, for example, I mentioned gas coming from Turkmenistan to China. There is a Coordination Commission in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, China, and Kazakhstan, which jointly works out all the technical possibilities', the Minister briefed.
