Kyrgyzstan managed to haggle down the gas price to $250 per 1000 cubic meters. The news agency “24.kg” learnt from the Kyrgyzgas company, the Kyrgyz Minister of Industry, Energy and Fuel Resources Ilias Davydov confirmed the data.
“The agreement was reached during the official gas talks in Tashkent. The price is quite acceptable, when Uzbekistan sells gas to Russia at $326 per 1000 m3,” the minister said.
As the news agency “24.kg” earlier reported, the original gas price for 2009 was $300 per 1000 m3. Kyrgyz officials held three rounds of negotiations, the last of which is still on.
Davydov reportedly departs for Tashkent tonight to join the dialog.
