Addressing a press conference in Islamabad‚ Executive Director SDPI Abid Suleri said Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project is the best among all other options available including Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India pipeline project.
Regarding international sanctions‚ he said Pakistan can avoid them by converting the project into a Bilateral Investment Treaty or applying for waiver in the United Nations.
He said both Turkey and Armenia had been getting a waiver because of their energy needs.
Abid Suleri said Pakistan needs to tap one hundred thousand cubic feet Shale gas reserves to become self-reliant in natural gas.
