Iran plans to study the feasibility of a natural gas pipeline to China.

Iranian officials said Teheran would explore the requirements in extending the 2,600-kilometer pipeline from Iran to India to China. They said the issue was discussed during the visit of an Indian delegation to Iran.

China has sought to become a major client of Iranian liquefied natural gas. Iran is already a major supplier of oil to China.

India has been negotiating with Iran for a long-term LNG supply contract. The two sides remain apart on price.
