ISLAMABAD:
Iranian and Indian oil ministers are due to discuss the extension of a Iran-Pakistan (IP) pipeline project which is due to take Iran’s rich gas reserves to Pakistan and then to India in a meeting in New Delhi next week. Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi is slated to visit New Delhi next week to hold a meeting with Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Veerappa Moily on the peace pipeline, Faras News Agency reported Saturday.
Earlier this month, Iranian Oil Ministry Spokesperson Alireza Nikzad Rahbar announced that New Delhi has renewed interest in the extension of (IP) gas pipeline to India. “Since India has been motivated by Pakistan’s seriousness in construction of the peace pipeline, India is negotiating to join the project.”
Last month, Iran and Pakistan officially inaugurated the construction of the project.
