Supplying gas to China is a logical move for Russia, given Chinese demand and the country's willingness to pay a fair price, RIA Novosti quotes the Gazprom advisor, Marcel Kramer.
“The Chinese are making an important step of getting more natural gas in their energy mix... It is wise from a Russian point of view to work on diversifying its markets and on supplying those people who want to get the supply and are willing to pay a fair price for it,” RIA Novosti quotes Kramer as saying during a conference on the EU-Russian energy cooperation in Brussels.
He added that the move is a signal for the EU, amid considerable uncertainty about whether US natural gas will actually be supplied to Europe.
