An energy expert suggested transporting fuel and lubricants from China to Kyrgyzstan by airship.
Ernst Karibkov recalls that there are several oil refineries in the XUAR. Fuel is brought from there on the way, but it is very expensive.
"From Kashgar to Torogart is about 170 km. It is possible to build an oil storage facility and transport oil products in airships."
- said at a round table organized by the Oi Urdu Center for expert initiatives.
