Russia's proposed Power of Siberia-2 natural gas pipeline project to China appears to have hit a roadblock.
Russia's proposed natural gas pipeline to China hit a roadblock on Friday after the landlocked East Asian country Mongolia moved to exclude the project in its national action program through 2028.About a third of Moscow's proposed Power of Siberia-2 pipeline project—which will connect Russia's gas fields in its Altai region to northeast China—was supposed to be built in Mongolia, which borders both China and Russia.
The official also suggested that there may be a rift between Moscow and Beijing over a perception that Russia's state gas giant Gazprom aims to 'unilaterally' control the portion of the pipeline proposed to be built in Mongolia.'This would have meant a sudden and long-term increase of Moscow's influence in Mongolia, to the detriment of Beijing,' Bayarlkhagva said.
