Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has told a foreign media organisation that the gas pipeline from Iran to Pakistan would be completed by 2014.
Rejecting the impression that recent US sanctions on Iran had slowed down the pace of work on laying the pipeline, she said the project was being completed speedily. She said the sanctions on Iran were focused on petroleum, and not on natural gas. She added that unilateral sanctions by the United States against Iran would not be productive, and most of them had been ineffective. To a question, the foreign minister said that Pakistan was aware of its international responsibilities. “We know that the sanctions declared by the UN should be followed by its member nations,” she said. She said that the gas imported from Iran would reduce the current energy crisis in Pakistan. Under the agreement, Iran would supply more than 700 million cubic feet gas to Pakistan on daily basis through the 2,100 kilometres long pipeline.
