The Gazprom headquarters hosted today a working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Company's Management Committee and Almazbek Atambayev, President of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The parties addressed the status of cooperation in the oil and gas sector, particularly the prospects for joint activities in hydrocarbon exploration and production, wholesale and retail energy market development, as well as natural gas transmission and distribution in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Special attention was paid to Gazprom's acquisition of a 100 per cent stake in Kyrgyzgaz. It was noted that Gazprom's activities in the Republic across the whole production chain from hydrocarbon exploration to distribution as well as investments in the development of energy facilities would bring the Kyrgyz fuel and energy sector to a fundamentally new level.
