MOSCOW, February 3 (RIA Novosti) - Gazprom deputy chairman of the board Alexander Ananenkov and Ko Jan Jik, director of the energy board at the Industry, Trade and Energy Ministry of South Korea, have looked into arranging Gazprom's natural gas shipments to South Korea from the united gas-supply system, taking shape in eastern Russia.

They also discussed a broader interaction between the Russian gas concern and the Korean gas corporation Kogas, the Gazprom press release says.

The meeting was held on initiative from South Korea.

In addition, the two discussed preparation of the Russian-Korean intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the gas sphere.

"South Korea's demand for Russian natural gas is accounted for in drawing up the programme of unfolding in East Siberia and the Far Eastern region a united system for the production, transportation and supply of gas. Its top-priority projects are the development of the Sakhalin offshore fields and shaping a system of gas transportation", Gazprom press service cites Mr. Ananenkov as saying.

Gas is scarce in South Korea and its gas market actually in full depends on the import of liquefied natural gas.
