Russia has agreed to boost gas supplies to China, strengthening their energy partnership as Moscow pivots away from Europe, Reuters reported.
Gazprom will raise annual deliveries through the Power of Siberia pipeline from 38 to 44bn cubic meters. In a parallel move, Russia, China, and Mongolia signed a binding pact to build the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which could add another 50 bcm of gas each year.
According to Reuters, the deal highlights deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation under Western sanctions and Europe’s reduced reliance on Russian gas.
