The design of the Soyuz Vostok gas pipeline to China via Mongolia should be completed next year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko told reporters following a meeting of the intergovernmental commission with Mongolia, Interfax reports.
“Completion [of the design]is scheduled for next year. We must ensure coordination on the part of the three states,” Abramchenko said.
Gazprom has begun to assess the possibility of supplying up to 50 billion cubic meters of gas per year to China via Mongolia in 2020. Design and surveys within the framework of the Soyuz Vostok trunk pipeline project began in February 2022. The pipeline should pass through the territory of Mongolia and will be a continuation of the Power of Siberia-2 pipeline.
