Turkmenia and Kazakhstan looking towards China.

The Chinese direction will become the main one for transportation and gas and oil pipeline projects of both Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
This was stated by president of Turkmenistan after his talks with President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev held at the Ashkhabad airport.
In the XXI century the Chinese direction will become a priority for both states, the president of Turkmenistan noted. "And already now we discuss the possibilities of joint efforts," he added.

As is known, the projects of the oil pipeline from Kazakhstan and the gas pipeline from Turkmenistan are orientated towards the Chinese market. The technical and economic substantiation studies of both projects backed by the governments, are under way.
Issues of uniting efforts of the two neighbouring states in the future in projects of the oil and gas complex were the main theme of recent talks between the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
