Uzbekistan and Russia are working to expand the capacity of the Central Asia - Center pipeline system in order to increase Russian gas supplies, a press statement of the Russian President Vladimir Putin following talks with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Tashkent on May 27.

Naturally, we all thought about the future, the climate is changing, we need to take some steps in advance," he said.

In an interview with the “Channel One”, Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev said that Russia and Uzbekistan are actively negotiating to significantly increase the supply of not only gas, but also electricity. Volumes are still subject to negotiations.
