Uzbekistan and China discussed expanding strategic energy cooperation, including new investment projects, oil and gas technology partnerships and potential long-term supplies of Jet A-1 aviation fuel from China. This was reflected in the statement by the Uzbekneftgaz, following a meeting between Uzbekneftegaz Chairman Abdugani Sanginov and a delegation led by Yu Jun, China’s Ambassador to Uzbekistan. The sides reviewed the development of bilateral cooperation in the energy sector, ongoing joint investment projects and promising areas for further collaboration.
Uzbekneftegaz said it is currently implementing a number of projects with major Chinese companies, including CNPC, CCDC, BGP, Jereh and Honghua, covering geological exploration, well construction, oilfield services and the introduction of advanced technologies. A key topic of the meeting was Uzbekistan’s efforts to diversify its aviation fuel supplies and establish a more stable fuel supply system. The sides discussed the possibility of securing long-term supplies of Jet A-1 aviation fuel from China.
The parties also considered strengthening embassy support for establishing direct cooperation between Uzbekneftegaz and China National Aviation Fuel Group (CNAF) and Sinopec. The proposed aviation fuel cooperation could help Uzbekistan diversify its sources of Jet A-1 supplies while strengthening links with major Chinese energy and aviation fuel companies. The broader engagement also reflects the growing role of Chinese companies in Uzbekistan’s oil and gas sector, particularly in exploration, drilling, oilfield services and technology deployment.
The sides expressed their readiness to continue practical cooperation and work on new investment and technological initiatives in the energy sector. Source: https://www.trend.az/casia/uzbekistan/4215126.html © 2026 Trend News Agency.
