China’s ambassador said the country plans to increase its LNG purchases from Russia

China intends to increase LNG purchases from Russia this year, Chinese Ambassador to Moscow Zhang Hanhui said.

 

“There are a lot of buyers. They make such a request, we tried as an embassy to help establish contacts with Russian suppliers. I think there will definitely be more,” TASS quoted him as saying.

This is how the diplomat responded to a question about a possible increase in supplies.

Earlier, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that China was buying gas from Russia for the sake of the people.
