With bilateral talks underway between Pakistan and Russia, a Kremlin delegation will visit South Asian country on January 17 to discuss oil, LNG trade and billion-dollar gas deals and pipeline projects.
Islamabad is set to host a Russian delegation tomorrow and will discuss much-vaunted Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline (PSGP) project according to media reports. Last month, Pakistan’s Minister of State “Musadiq Malik” announced that “Moscow had agreed to ship crude oil, gasoline and diesel to cash-strapped countries at discounted prices”.
Islamabad and the Kremlin will exchange views on cooperation in electricity, hydropower, renewable energy sources, and oil and gas exploration.
It was reported that a delegation of 80 people will visit Pakistan for three days for bilateral consultations under the Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) Forum. Detailed discussions are also planned to increase trade and investment, especially in the agriculture, energy, education, IT and financial sectors.
