Pakistan energy minister is visiting Iran while Islamabad is trying to implement a law that facilitates payment of the LPG gas that Pakistan imports from Iran.
Simultaneous with this visit, a delegation of Iranian companies involved in gas distribution, refinery of gas derivatives, and petrochemical industries, including the Pasargad Oil Company and Iran Press Gas, are meeting with the Head of Pakistan's state gas company which is responsible for provision of gas to Pakistan’s southern Baluchistan and Sind provinces.
The Pakistani official referred to the obstacles created by the west in the way of Iran-Pakistan trade, arguing, "Pakistan is determined to increase its LPG gas imports from Iran, and of course a mechanism for paying the price for the imported gas from Iran, too, must be devised."
He said that the barter deals, or other mechanisms mutually agreed by both sides can facilitate the finalizing of that deal.
