Pakistan interested in Iranian gas

The head of National Iranian Gas Exports Company, Alireza Kameli, said that Pakistan is determined to purchase gas from Iran.

He stressed that Islamabad has never previously purchased Iranian gas, referring to a recent LNG contract signed between Pakistan and Qatar.

In addition, Kameli focused on the fact that Pakistan’s need for gas is bigger than the contract signed with Qatar, so Islamabad is still following other options to import gas. Kameli called the joint border with Iran as an advantage for Pakistan to receive gas in low costs.

According to him, the gas import through the pipeline in short distances is the most economical option.
