Russia plans to pipe 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China for each year, the ambassador disclosed during an interview with Xinhuanet.com.
"We are continuing a project to provide gas to China and the project includes building a gas pipeline through China's northwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region," Razov said.
He said it was a large project which had many technical problems and experts were discussing solutions to the problems.
Russia plans to provide natural gas to China from 2011 through two lines, namely a western line through Xinjiang and an eastern line which traverses China's northeastern border with Russia.
Razov said the construction of a 2,800-kilometer-long crude oil pipeline is also going well, with 700 kilometers having been completed. He said experts of the two countries are currently discussing the issue of a feeder line to China.
