Chairman of the management board of state-run QazaqGaz, Sanzhar Zharkeshov, recently visited facilities in Atyrau region to inspect progress on preparatory work for the Kazakhstan section of the Central Asia-Centre gas pipeline system, the media outlet said.
The pipeline system is intended for the transport of Russian gas to Uzbekistan through Kazakh territory.
