BEIJING: The Myanmar section of a Myanmar-China natural gas pipeline, a project co-invested by six parties from four countries including China, Myanmar, South Korea and India, was inaugurated on Mandalay as it began to deliver gas to China.
The pipeline, part of the Myanmar-China Oil and Gas Pipeline project, includes building a crude oil pipeline, according to China's Xinhua News Agency.
The pipeline, starting from Myanmar's Kuaykphyu, passes through Rakhine state, Magway and Mandalay regions and Shan state and enters Chinese territory at Ruili in southwest Yunnan Province.
The gas pipeline stretches for 793 kilometers onshore within Myanmar's territory with six processing stations, while the crude oil pipeline, which is nearing completion, starts from Made Island and extends onshore for 771 kilometers. (QNA)
