Russia ready to supply LNG to fuel-hungry Pakistan
Russia has offered Pakistan liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavov has revealed, as the South Asian nation is facing more gas shortages in the near future.
The two countries discussed deepening bilateral ties, including in energy and trade, earlier this week when Lavrov met his Pakistani counterpart, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmoud Kureishi. According to the top Russian diplomat, trade turnover between Russia and Pakistan significantly rose to hit a record $790 million last year, with Russian wheat exports contributing most to the growth.
“We are interested in making this upward trend sustainable. To do this, we need to diversify our relations in this area,” Lavrov said during a joint news conference. He added that the construction of the Pakistan Stream gas pipeline, formerly known as the North-South project, could play an important role in this.
