Kazakhstan and Lithuania to sign documents on supply of 3 mln tons of Kazakhstani oil in April

/IRBIS, March 10, 00/ - PRIME-TASS informs, with the reference to the ambassador of Lithuania to Kazakhstan Virgilius Bulovas, that the documents on transportation of 3 mln Kazakhstani oil to Lithuania will be signed at the meeting of governmental commissions of two countries in April, 2000. The ambassador says they would make an agreement on exports of about 3 mln tons of oil, though Lithuania needs about 6 mln tons for domestic consumption and 6-8 mln tons could be exported to the West through sea terminals of Klaipeda port. It is said production volumes are sharply shrinking on North sea, therefore Lithuania hopes to cooperate with Kazakhstan and Russia in oil business.
