Russian energy giant Gazprom has signed agreements with Kazakhstan and Mongolia to boost gas cooperation, including increased deliveries to Kazakhstan in 2025–2026 and a study on gasification in Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar.
Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller and Kazakh First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar signed the supply deal during a working meeting, also reviewing cooperation in gas transportation and processing.
The deal builds on a strategic partnership agreement on energy signed between Gazprom and the Kazakh government in November 2023.
Separately, Miller met Mongolian Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar to discuss opportunities in the gas sector, with officials highlighting the potential for natural gas to provide a cleaner and more efficient energy source to support industrial growth and improved living standards.
Following the meeting, Gazprom Deputy Chairman Vitaly Markelov and Mongolian Deputy Prime Minister Sainbuyan Amarsaikhan signed a memorandum on gasification prospects for Ulaanbaatar. Earlier, in August 2025, the two sides had signed a memorandum to strengthen oil and gas sector partnerships.
Kazakhstan, one of Central Asia’s top energy producers, still relies on Russian imports to meet domestic gas demand, while Mongolia aims to reduce coal dependence and improve air quality in Ulaanbaatar, one of the world’s most polluted capitals.
