Gazprom CEO discusses gas cooperation with Uzbek president

The statement does not contain detailed information on the talks.

It was reported earlier that after Gazprom revised the purchase price for Turkmen gas from US$100 per 1,000 cubic meters to US$130 - US$150 per 1,000 cubic meters, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan expressed their intentions to do the same.

It was reported in late November that Uzbekneftegaz plans to negotiate with Gazprom a price increase for Uzbek gas from the current US$100 per 1,000 in 2008. The Uzbek side intends to switch from regional to formula-calculated international prices.
