The parties addressed the enhancement of the bilateral strategic partnership in the gas sector, particularly focusing on the progress with the construction of the Power of Siberia gas trunkline designed, among other things, to supply natural gas to China via the eastern route.

Alexey Miller and Zhang Gaoli looked into the prospects for supplying Russian natural gas to China via the western route.

On the eve of the meeting, Alexey Miller held a briefing on the progress with the comprehensive Action Plan for the Company's investments projects necessary for arranging gas supplies to China via the eastern route.

The meeting participants noted that Gazprom was highly concentrated on the pre-development of the Chayandinskoye field as well as the construction of the Power of Siberia gas trunkline and the Amur Gas Processing Plant.
