ISLAMABAD: Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the country was in dire need of having gas from neighboring Iran.
In an exclusive interview with IRNA on Saturday, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that so far, Pakistan has spent tens of millions of dollars for importing gas from Iran.

'There is no doubt in Pakistan's serious intention for implementing the gas pipeline project with Iran,' he added.

The country's South Western neighbor, Iran, ranks second in the world in natural gas resources, he said, "Having a neighbor with abundant gas reserves is invaluable opportunity for Pakistan" he added.

We will not lose such a valuable chance and it is mulling to construct three or more pipeline projects aiming at import gas from Iran, the minister further added.
