The commencement ceremony of the China-Kazakhstan gas pipeline was held in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan.
As a part of the China-Central Asia gas pipeline project, the China-Kazakhstan gas pipeline, extending 1,300 km, is a joint venture between China and Kazakhstan.
The China-Central Asia gas pipeline project runs from Turkmenistan, passing through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and finally reaches Central, East and South China, with a total length of approximately 10,000 km. After its completion, Turkmenistan will deliver 30 billion cubic metres of natural gas every year to China within 30 years.
