The agreement, signed during a meeting between Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller and Kazakhstan’s First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar, aims to strengthen regional energy ties and meet Kazakhstan’s growing demand for natural gas.
Both sides highlighted the project’s strategic importance for energy stability and regional economic cooperation across Central and South Asia.
Gazprom and Kazakhstan have signed a memorandum to build a new gas pipeline connecting the two countries, alongside a long-term deal for processing gas from the Karachaganak field at Russia’s Orenburg plant.
