China and Russia Fail to Reach Agreement on Gas Plan

BEIJING - President Xi Jinping of China and the Russian leader, Vladimir V. Putin, were unable to announce an agreement on a natural gas deal on Tuesday, despite high expectations that mutual political interests would help finally push through the project.

.

Instead, commercial concerns continued to dominate - specifically, the price of the gas, which China and Russia have been haggling over for nearly a decade. After the meeting between the two leaders, Mr. Putin's spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said that talks were continuing.

.

According to Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency, after meeting Mr. Xi in Shanghai, Mr. Putin said, "I'm glad to be informed that the two sides have made significant progress in the price negotiation of the east route of the natural gas project."

.

A joint statement said that Russian natural gas supplies would start flowing "as soon as possible," a phrase used after many previous negotiations between Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation, and an indication that the two sides could not close the gap on price in time for the two leaders to announce the deal at their meeting.

"Given the political and commercial catalysts, this is a surprising result for everyone and for Gazprom," said James Henderson, a senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies in Britain. "There was an expectation that with Putin arriving in China and with the political issues with Europe - that would be the trigger to get it over the line."

.

Mr. Putin had also been expected to agree to China's demands on price in part because of the weak Russian economy. The International Monetary Fund projects Russia's economic growth in 2014 will be 0.2 percent.
