Alaska Delegation Welcomes Joint Development Agreement to Advance Alaska LNG Project
U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and Rep. Don Young, all R-Alaska, today issued the following statement after the State of Alaska, the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), CIC Capital Corporation (CIC Capital), and the Bank of China (BOC) announced the signing of a joint development agreement to advance the Alaska LNG project.
“We congratulate Gov. Walker and all who are working on the Alaska LNG project on this milestone. We also thank President Trump for his strong support of the project and efforts to reduce our trade deficit with China, which is Alaska’s largest trading partner.
“The responsible development of Alaska’s natural resources offers a great opportunity to create good jobs and new wealth in our state and across the country, while paying down both state and federal deficits, improving our balance of trade, and strengthening our national security. We look forward to learning more about this announcement and are ready to work with all stakeholders to advance the Alaska LNG project.”
Alaska Gov. Bill Walker signed the joint development agreement on Thursday at a signing ceremony in Beijing, which was attended by President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
