Welcome to asia, we invite you to embark on an exciting journey to the very heart of the continent. Today on the program will kazakhstan be able to renegotiate unprofitable Oil Contracts with international corporations, and what does that have to do with it . Russia is here, an unexpected proposal will be aired on our program. Well also tell you how central asia celebrated the beginning of the holy month of ramadan and a moment of unexpected geology. Is uzbekistan really going underground . Lately you have had the feeling that you lack stability, as if the ground is disappearing from under your feet. Perhaps it didnt seem to you at all, here are american geologists, not to be confused with. British scientists are announcing a new global danger. Earth literally sags. According to american researchers, more than 6 million km of the earths surface, which is almost 5 of the worlds total land area, is subsiding at a rate of more than 5 mm per year, which is enough to cause irreparable damage to 2 billion people in the risk zone. But the most surprising thing is that countries like the philippines, indonesia, costa rica, and iran are going underground faster than others. And uzbekistan. According to american researchers, the earth is sinking here at a rate of 50 mm per year, that is, 10 times faster than in other zones risk. Among the main reasons are is part of the most recent mountain building, alpine folding, so it is called, so this is all the life of the city, life, the life of the earth, which we cannot influence in any way, we only observe, the fact is that this is a known train, it can be traced from spain to the pacific ocean, this alpine train. Therefore, everyone knows him, americans, in general , go unnoticed in such blunders as oritan scientists, but its a bit of a bold statement that they included uzbekistan among these very people only to scare, if, because this is a common phenomenon, is it dangerous or not dangerous, but not dangerous, because in all such places there are. Seismic networks, in particular there are our soviet seismic networks, which, well, in beshka, for example, too there is, in kazakhstan there is, everything is monitored there, so its all under control. There are no negotiations yet; this is kazakhstan about extending the contract for its largest oil field. We are talking about tingiz, tyrau region in western kazakhstan. The predicted volume of reserves here is about 3 billion tons of oil, almost 2 trillion cubic meters of associated gas. The current agreement on tingiz was signed in 1993 for 40 years, that is, until 2033. Then they divided it like this american chevron 50 , kazakh kazmunaigas 20 . Exonmobile another 25 and russian lucoil 5 . Until now, oil from the field is divided according to the same production sharing agreement; it is curious that the terms of this agreement still remain secret and they say that it is not without reason that these conditions cannot be called beneficial for kazakhstan. Decision about the future, that is, what will happen after 2033, accepted by the government of kazakhstan, but 5 years before the expiration of the contract, shareholders can initiate negotiations for an extension. In any case, for now. Negotiations are not underway, but the kazakh government assures that National Interests will be at the forefront. However, we can already say with confidence that these negotiations will not be simple. Chevron, the main shareholder, is one of the Largest Companies in the world, in general. Headquartered in california, oil is produced all over the world, in the United States, latin america, africa, asia. So, the company itself calls tingis the main pearl in its crown. According to different estimates. Oil extracted from the kazakh field provides from 20 to 25 of the total income of this largest corporation. At the same time, experts in kazakhstan say that it is simply vital for the country to reconsider the conditions for tengiz and other large fields. But is it possible for kazakhstan to reconsider the conditions that are colossal by todays standards, and what does russia have to do with it . A bold proposal was voiced by lzhas baideldinov, a member of the Public Council for questions. Fuel and Energy Complex of the ministry of energy of kazakhstan. So, please tell us about your bold proposal. Yes, i made such a proposal, it is probably the first time in kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has a big task to review and improve the Oil Contracts that were concluded in the early nineties. These are timdisk, karachaganak, kashagan. In the twentythird year, three whales, as they are called in kazakhstan, accounted for 67 of Oil Production, 2 3. And whales control according to our national gas company, there is a small share in these projects, but in any case, lets say that the main cream, the main income is received by foreign investors, while the level of taxes, environmental payments, some duties, something else, it was fixed at the level of the amounts in force in the nineties, there values, taxes and so on, and naturally this is not beneficial for kazakhstan, and my proposal was quite simple, since. Russia froze about 300 billion dollars of gold and Foreign Exchange reserves in western jurisdictions , then lets build some kind of negotiation process regarding russia using this money to buy up to. In kazakhstan and thus we would provide, well, quite attractive conditions in general for everyone, and offhand i said that this is somewhere then about 60 dash 100 billion dollars, american and European Companies in this case would receive cash money now, and kazakhstan in this case could renegotiate the terms of contracts, could increase the republics share, tax revenues, transfer these contracts in general. On a standard the conditions that currently apply in kazakhstan for oil and gas fields, a proposal that, lets say, is even more interesting, probably yes for the russian side, and this is that we could change certain flows that are now flowing to europe. You argue that it is critical and vital for kazakhstan to urgently reconsider the conditions for Oil Production at its largest fields, and what will happen if this is not done . Our budget deficit is growing government debts are growing, while the population of kazakhstan, as you know, is growing, that is, if it is already on our agenda that there is not enough oil and gas revenues and the budget deficit is growing by 20 million people, yes, then how will we cope with 25, while we need to understand that in 23 our Oil Production increased by 7 , to 90 million tons, there 89. 9, it would seem, this is a good figure, but at the same time, production has increased among whales, and if you take the countrys production minus up to. In soft mode, yes, as you know, kazakhstan filed claims against korochiganak and kashagan for a total of 21. 6 billion, this perhaps one of the largest amounts in history. What else do you remember about the past week in asia . Muslims in central asia, like the whole world, have begun the holy month of ramadan; special bus routes now run to the mosque and the capital of kazakhstan, with several trips to each large residential area. And this. Namaz in one of the oldest mosques in tashkent, okhun guzar. By the way, during evening prayers in uzbekistan, traffic was partially limited so that cars would not interfere with the flow of believers walking. In cities iftar bazaars have traditionally opened in kyrgyzstan. These are small street markets where just before sunset you can buy everything you need to break your fast. In tajikistan, meanwhile, they promised to combat excesses in holding spiritual events. Mmm ali rahmon condemned those who repeatedly. Performs hajj and umrah, which according to islamic law are sufficient to be performed once. The president believes that in such cases it is better to spend money on helping those in need and improving the home country. And in turkmenistan about the onset of ramadan the children proclaim. They go from house to house with good poetic wishes for the owners and receive refreshments. A trial has started in kazakhstan in the case of the former head of the ministry of National Economy kuandyk bishimbayev, accused of murdering his wife saltanatnukenova. Charges have been brought under articles. Killings with extreme cruelty and torture, the prosecutor is trying to prove that the exminister intended to take the life of his spouse, and not just beat him. The defense insists that the defendant inflicted the fatal beating by accident. Lets see if they believe it jurors who are about to reach a verdict. Sadyr japarov nevertheless withdrew the highprofile bill on media from the kyrgyz parliament; according to the deputies, it should have made registration of all media, including internet sites, mandatory, and would also allow limiting. The dissemination of this or that content, based on the requirements quote morality and public health. The president considered the criteria too vague and ordered the document to be finalized. But the law on the socalled foreign representatives, that is, foreign agents in kyrgyzstan has already been adopted. It implies that all ngos and nonprofit organizations with funding from abroad will submit additional reports on their financial activities. For obvious reasons, the initiative was heavily criticized in the west. Last years. The volume of bilateral trade between tajikistan and uzbekistan has exceeded 500 million, but the republics need to strive for more, such statements were made in dushanwa at a meeting between imali rahmon and the Prime Minister of the neighboring country abdulla aripov. In addition to trade turnover, they discussed prospects for joint projects in industry, energy and agriculture. President of kazakhstan kasym zhamartakayev made a twoday visit to azerbaijan. The previous time he visited the caucasian republic was quite recently in november 2023, this time the geography of the visit is very symbolic. The president of kazakhstan personally went to the cities of fuzuli and shusha, and not just. Visited and actually presented Kazakh Companies there. Fuzuli president opened a hospital and a childrens creativity center, which were built by the company from kazakhstan as philanthropists. Baku and astana are betting on mutually beneficial economic pragmatism. Both countries are being integrated into a large project, the socalled middle corridor. Much attention was paid to its implementation during the visit. A teleconference was organized for aliyev and tokayev with the abshiron station, where the sending train arrived from oktao. From chinese xian. In fact , the president showed exactly how the transcaspian route works. A train consisting of 61 single containers was launched at the xian terminal. Transport and Logistics Center owned by kazakhstan and reached baku in 11 days. Kazakhstan is now struggling to earn billions of dollars from chinese transit through its territory. And great hopes are pinned here on the middle corridor. And here is an excerpt from. The World Bank Report on the current state of the middle corridor at the end of 2023 assessed the situation as follows shippers began to actively use it, but the limits of the corridors capabilities quickly became clear, problems were noted with border crossings, coordination, and cargo transshipment, which led to severe delays, as a result, shippers returned to alternative routes, statistics are provided in the twentysecond year, the volume of container traffic along. The single corridor increased by 33 compared to the twenty first year, but for 8 months of the twenty third decreased by 37 compared to the same period of the twentysecond. At the very beginning of this year, the European Union announced plans to allocate significant funds for the development of this corridor. Its approximately about 10 billion euros, and it is reported that at the moment a third of this amount, that is, 3 billion has already been allocated. Prospects for the middle corridor and the results of the visit of the president of kazakhstan. We will discuss tokayevs plans to go to azerbaijan with stanislav prichin. What is the political significance of such a visit . The visit, on the one hand , had quite a serious practical significance, and in terms of discussing specific issues of cooperation there between kozmunagaz and sakara of azerbaijan on the development of transport routes, an attempt to increase trade turnover between states, because well, for such countries as azerbaijan and kazakhstan. The level that is now observed, 5,209 million per year, is, of course, a completely insignificant amount. Kazakhstan, of course, has its own interests, both geopolitical and geostrategic in relation to azerbaijan, here this is part of cooperation within the framework of the organization of turkic states, and these are serious plans to build transcaspian transport routes. To diversify the export flows of kazakh oil and cargo that go through kazakhstan. Who comes first . Interested in implementing this middle corridor project, what are its advantages and disadvantages . On the one hand, almost all participants in this route, major players, in particular china, and the United States of america and the European Union, express support for this project, since it is such. A large, independent, alternative route that allows not only to build transport corridors ideally, but also to strengthen interregional ties, in reality the situation is somewhat different, because in principle, building a complex logistics route with the crossing of the caspian sea, then the black sea, with the crossing of the borders of several states, it cannot be competitive with any other. The flow of cargo is comparable at least there with shares of what goes through the russian federation, and further this entire road ends in not a very developed transport system, railway and turkish. And in other news the state committee for National Security of kyrgyzstan announced the return to state ownership of the crystal plant, which was previously seized by the group, liquidated last year authority of kamchik albaev, the enterprise where semiconductors were once produced has been standing for many years. Abandoned, tons of toxic chemicals are stored on its territory, but this did not stop raiders from setting up illegal mining farms there.
