Pakistan's Minister of Petroleum Musadik Malik said Pakistan is seeking access to Iranian gas, but cautioned that Islamabad is not in a position to face sanctions, reported the Bussiness Recorder.
“Our position is very clear – we would like to have Iranian gas, but we want to come up with a mechanism by which we don’t face any sanctions,” Musadik said while addressing the Pakistan Energy Symposium in Islamabad on Wednesday.
“We are a poor country and cannot afford any sanctions.
“By the same token many countries have gotten waivers and extensions,” he said, citing the example of Turkiye, Iraq, and Azerbaijan.
