Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will take up the agenda of two mega gas pipeline projects during his planned first visit to Russia this month for a key meeting with President Vladimir Putin, a media report said on Thursday.
Quoting diplomatic sources, The Express Tribune newspaper reported that Pakistan and Russia are expected to strike major deals during the trip, including a movement forward on Russian investment to build a USD 2 billion worth gas pipeline, in the wake of the country’s “fast-depleting” local reserves.
Pakistan’s civilian and military leaderships were on the same page on signing the Pakistan Gas Stream Project and the gas pipeline from Kazakhstan project with Russia, the report said.
