Kazakh-China Oil Pipeline Opens
Kazakhstan and China have inaugurated a 1,000km-long (620-mile) oil pipeline to supply Kazakh oil to energy-hungry western China.
It is the first major export pipeline from the landlocked Central Asian republic which does not cross Russia.
It will eventually export oil to feed China’s booming economy from huge reserves around the Caspian Sea.
Kazakhstan wants to become one of the world’s top oil exporters in the next decade or two.
