Putin ratifies gas pipeline agreement with China
普京修订与中国天然气管道协议
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday ratified a gas supply agreement with China in respect to the so- called Eastern route.
An official statement posted online says the agreement is aimed at strengthening Russian-Chinese energy cooperation, and defines the main terms of the natural gas supply from Russia to China along the East-Route. The agreement was passed on April the 24th by the Russian parliament's lower house, called the State Duma, and approved by the upper chamber, known as the Federation Council, five days later.
During Putin's official visit to China last year in May, the two sides signed a 30-year gas supply contract, that will see the East-Route pipeline provide China with 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from 2018.
