GOV.cn Thursday, December 15, 2005

China is ready to enhance cooperation on energy resources with other countries, including Russia and Kazakhstan, based on equality and mutual benefits, said Qin Gang, spokesman of Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing Thursday.

"China's stance on energy cooperation is clear," Qin said, noting China hopes to promote cooperation not only on oil and natural gas, but also on using renewable and clean energy.

The first period of the 1000-km oil pipeline project between China and Kazakhstan launched Thursday.

This is China's first transnational oil project.

Qin said China has established strategic partnership with both Russia and Kazakhstan and has conducted cooperation on energy resources with them. This conforms to the interest of the three countries, and helps achieve common prosperity, he added.

China is promoting dialogue and cooperation with the other countries to safeguard security and stability of the world energy resources, Kong said.
