KIEV, Jan. 6 – The government will continue in 2011 negotiations concerning the revision of the gas pricing formula in the agreement on Russian natural gas supplies and creating a tripartite joint venture for running the domestic gas transport system, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"We will not for a single moment relax our efforts to convince our Russian partners of the need to revise this unequal agreement... Thus, what we didn't manage to do in 2010, will be our goal for 2011. A large group of negotiators will focus their efforts on this task," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.
