PM forms high-level committee to steer Pak-Iran gas pipeline out of arbitration impasse, NA told
The leadership of both countries engaging in efforts to resolve dispute amicably, petroleum minister tells Senate
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has created a high-level committee to find a mutually agreeable solution for the long-stalled Pak-Iran gas pipeline project, according to Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik. The committee, tasked with examining the legal, financial, and energy dimensions of the project, aims to determine the best course of action in Pakistan's national interest.
Iran was described as "a brotherly country," and its leadership remains committed to reaching a mutually beneficial settlement. The project has been stuck for over a decade due to various obstacles, including US sanctions on Iran, financing difficulties, and broader geopolitical concerns. In 2024, Iran filed an international arbitration case in Paris over project delays.
