Belarus and Kazakhstan to sign oil supply agreement

According to neftegaz.ru.nursultan, Kazakhstan's Deputy Minister of energy, aset magauov, said an agreement to supply Kazakhstan's oil to Belarus could be signed early next year. "Belarus is more interested in processing imported raw materials than directly importing refined oil," the official said. That's why I don't think they are interested in our gasoline. The total amount of crude oil mentioned in the talks is close to 3.2 million tons. " "We must now complete the necessary internal procedures, get the approval of other departments and carry out the necessary expert evaluation," he said. Only in this way can we sign the agreement. Once we have reached an agreement with Belarus on production, we will discuss the specific delivery route and start negotiations with those from Russia. " Magauov also talked about the timing of the possible signing of the oil supply agreement: "if we can complete the internal procedures and expert assessment as soon as possible, we must get the approval of the Ministry of justice, and finally the expert assessment of the Ministry of foreign affairs. I think it will take at least a month for all of this. "
