In December 2019, Gazprom signed a memorandum of understanding with the Mongolian government to jointly assess the feasibility of the pipeline project supplying natural gas from Russia to China through Mongolia. The "Eastern Alliance" natural gas pipeline will pass through the territory of Mongolia and become the extension line of Russia's "Siberian Power-2" project.

Peter Bobelev, Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia, previously told the satellite news agency that the pipeline project of supplying natural gas from Russia to China through Mongolia is of strategic significance for Russia and Russia China cooperation.

In February this year, Gazprom said that Russia and Mongolia started the design of the "Eastern Alliance" gas pipeline from Russia to China. The construction of the "Eastern Alliance" pipeline is planned to start in 2024. In an interview in September 2022, the Director General of the First Asia Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Georgi Dinoviev said that the implementation of the "Eastern Alliance" natural gas pipeline project was progressing well, and the working group was discussing the price of gas supply to China. The natural gas pipeline route has been agreed, and "the calculation of investment and operating expenses has also been completed". Editor/Xu Shengpeng
