China imported Turkmen gas worth $2.4 billion for the period of January-March of the current year, TASS reported on Wednesday citing China's Customs Administration.
Turkmenistan currently exports its natural gas to China via three pipelines passing along the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan-China route. The pipeline system is capable of transporting 55 bcm of gas a year.
