The project has important political and economic dimensions for the two neighboring countries but US has remained the biggest obstacle forcing Pakistan to get gas from Turkmenistan, Pakistani news outlets quoted him as saying.
Talking to the founder president of IWCCI Samina Fazil, he said that plan to import gas from central Asia will not see the light of the day for the next decade due to situation in Afghanistan while lifting Iran sanctions will reduce energy crisis in Pakistan substantially.
He said that the pipeline project, if materialized, could be extended to India and China providing extra income to Pakistan under transit head while Iran could also provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) at economical rates.
