Imports of gas from Turkmenistan will be increased in the near future to 40 million cubic meters per day, Iran's Deputy Oil Minister Jawad Owji said, ISNA news agency reported.

"About six months ago, Iran was receiving some 4-5 million cubic meters of gas per day from Turkmenistan, and this figure will be increased to 40 million cubic meters per day soon," Owji said.
