Pakistani Ambassador to Iran Nour Muhammad Jadmani underlined the importance of Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project for the energy-hungry South Asian nation, and reiterated Islamabad’s determination to complete the construction of the rest of IP project on its soil.
“Pakistani government is obliged to accomplish the project,” Jadmani said on Saturday.
“We are still obliged to complete the project. Despite what is released by foreign media on the gas pipeline. Although Pakistani government is facing problems, we are seeking advancement of the project,” he said.
He further added that the two countries are willing to press ahead with accomplishment of the plan.
Earlier this week, a Pakistani source said that talks on setting new timeframe for the completion of the much-awaited IP gas pipeline project had started in Tehran after Islamabad sent a team of experts and officials to the Iranian capital to this end.
Iran has already built 900 kilometers of the pipeline on its own soil and is waiting for the 700-kilometer Pakistani side of the pipeline to be constructed.
The IP pipeline is designed to help Pakistan overcome its growing energy needs at a time when the country of over 180 million people is grappling with serious energy shortages.
