ISLAMABAD:

In order to cater to the rising energy demand during winter, the government has decided to import additional gas from Azerbaijan in next couple of months.

Talking to a private TV channel, Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik said that Pakistan would import 20,0000 tons of additional gas from Azerbaijan during the next two months to meet its demand in the country.

He said the Russian petroleum minister would visit Pakistan next month for holding negotiations on an agreement for the import of crude oil from Russia.

The state minister said the government was working on TAPI gas pipeline project to import 1,300 billion MF gas yearly from Azerbaijan to meet the gas shortage in the country.

He said gas reservoirs in Pakistan were decreasing every year which caused additional pressure to import maximum commodity to meet the demand.

test | 1 year ago | Reply Why not Iran If Gulf countries can have relations with India then why Pakistan cannot have relations with Iran I think money buys policy autonomy be it domestic and be it foreign just like US Europe China and ASEAN. But before that I would say Pakistan must get rid of elite class which includes politicians policy makers generals judges top lawyers businessmen and owners of media houses. If armed forces kill the elite class of Pakistan and get the the wealth of elite class and add it to national fund or state assets after killing elite class along with their families and then start a war with India be it nuclear or non nuclear and also cancel Reko Diq deal because those 50 50 deal is not your money that is state money and we cannot give 50pc for 6 billion dollar fine. So hang Balochistan govt of that time and PPP Zardari who made that deal back 10-12 years ago. And stop fooling people of Pakistan in the name of terrorism TTP BLA or what ever the shit.
