KAZINFORM (ASTANA)—China and Kazakhstan will start building a cross-border natural gas pipeline in 2008. Kazakhstan plans to spend about US 3.4 billion on the pipeline, which will take natural gas from the Caspian Sea through the country's south and on to China by 2011. The project will transport as much as 5 billion cubic meters (BCM) of Caspian gas annually via the Beyneu-Bozoy-Samsonovka pipeline network.
