For Turkmenistan, energy cooperation with China has injected momentum for the natural gas-rich country's export diversity strategy and secured a stable and huge market. It has also unlocked potential in areas including green energy, natural gas utilization, energy technologies and equipment to enhance cooperation across the industrial chain.

Turkmenistan is one of the biggest suppliers of natural gas to China and neighboring countries. It's also a key country of the China-Central Asia Gas Pipeline project. By June 2022, the China-Central Asia Gas Pipeline had delivered more than 400 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China over the last 12-plus years, according to PipeChina West Pipeline Company. As China's first transnational gas pipeline, the pipeline runs from the border of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, passes through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and links up with China's West-to-East Gas Pipeline in Horgos, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Fuxing Gas Field is the model of successful mutual beneficial cooperation between China and Turkmenistan. From the completion and operation of the China-Central Asia gas pipeline, to the increasing capacity of the gas field on the right bank of the Amu Darya River, and to the successful inauguration of first-phase construction of Fuxing Gas Field, in merely a few years, China-Turkmenistan energy cooperation has achieved leapfrog development. 

As the world's second largest gas field, Fuxing Gas Field is an important base for Turkmenistan's natural gas exports, as well as an important gas source for China-Turkmenistan natural gas cooperation.
