Russia, Pakistan Ink Deal To Build Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Moscow and Islamabad on Friday signed an agreement on the construction of the Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline, the Russian Energy Ministry said.

The pipeline -with a total length of more than 1,100km and the capacity of up to 12.3Bln cubic metres – has been designed to connect liquefied natural gas terminals in Karachi and Gwadar in south Pakistan to power stations and commercial users of the gas in the Kasur district of the Punjab province in the north.

The purpose of the agreement will be to help Pakistan enhance its energy security, Shulginov told reporters after signing the deal.
