China's involvement in Russia's Arctic LNG-2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project should not be the target of any third party intervention or restrictions, its foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
Chinese state-owned oil majors CNOOC Ltd and CNPC reportedly suspended their participation in Arctic LNG 2 on Monday, after the Russian controlling shareholder Novatek was reported to have declared force majeure because of U.S. sanctions imposed on Thursday.
