Involving energy development in Central Asia and controlling energy exports from these countries are main method of Russia’s energy strategy in Central Asia.

Now,Russia and Kazakhstan have cooperation in energy exploitation,pipeline transport and trade of oil and gas. The contradictions in the energy cooperation between the two countries under the EAEU framework appeared to be combed out.
