South Korea's Minister of Trade and Commerce said on Thursday that due to concerns about South Korea's energy security, a request has been submitted to the new British Minister of Trade, hoping that the upcoming sanctions imposed by Britain will exempt South Korea from importing Russian liquefied natural gas. South Korea's Ministry of Industry said that if the exemption cannot be obtained, the South Korean state-owned enterprise Korea Gas Company will be suspended from the Sakhalin 2 oil and gas project on Russia's Pacific coast. The company holds a long-term procurement contract, which is valid until March 2028.
