Turkmens May Get China Loan

摘要

The president of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedov, may sign a third loan deal with China during a planned visit to Beijing on Nov. 23, industry sources tell Oil Daily. A new loan, following on from previous ones of $4 billion and $4.1 billion, would bind Turkmenistan, holder of the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, even closer to China, which has replaced Russia as the Turkmens' leading energy partner.
