Commissioned in December 2009, the Central Asia-China pipeline starts from the border of Turkmenistan, then passes through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and connects with the West-East gas pipeline at Khorgos, in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China, and is the first cross-border China gas pipeline.
