Question: Good afternoon, Interfax Agency. I have an energy-related question. During the state visit to Kazakhstan… My second question is about pumping petroleum, but this time Russian petroleum, through the territory of Kazakhstan to China.
Vladimir Putin: … We have discussed the possibility of creating new routes for pumping our products – petroleum and gas alike – to third countries, primarily the People’s Republic of China, through the territory of Kazakhstan among other optional routes. These are very lucrative, exciting, and promising routes and projects. Without a doubt, they will help stabilise the global economy, primarily, in the Asia-Pacific region, and we will thus gain an extra opportunity to engage in market operations.
