Mongolia and China have discussed the possibility of organizing a trilateral meeting with Russia in the near future on the gas pipeline project from Russia to China through Mongolia, Mongolian media reported.
The discussion took place during a meeting between Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Shen Minjuan and Mongolian Deputy Prime Minister Sainbuyan Amarsaikhan.
"Shen Minjuan agreed that it would be expedient for representatives of the three countries responsible for the gas pipeline project to meet in person to discuss it," one of the publications reported.
The 950-km pipeline would cross Mongolia from north to south through six provinces.
This is the Soyuz Vostok project, a continuation of the planned Power of Siberia 2 trunk pipeline that will connect hydrocarbon fields in West Siberia with the Xinjian Uighur Autonomous Region of northwest China, from where it will be sent to Shanghai. Planned supplies are up to 50 billion cubic meters per year.
The project's timing depends on a contract being signed by Gazprom and China's CNPC, with talks ongoing.
