Extended financial constraints in and procrastination by Islamabad notwithstanding, energy officials in Tehran are still hopeful that the long-delayed gas project with Pakistan will eventually see the light of day.
In a statement on Monday, Amirhossein Zamaninia, deputy oil minister for international affairs said the new government in Pakistan has made known its political will to broaden economic ties with Iran and is following up on Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline.
"Pakistan has set up two committees --- finance and sanctions --- to facilitate the process of gas import from Iran," Zamaninia was quoted as saying by Shana.
Oil ministers of the two countries are expected to discuss legal issues next month, the official said without elaboration.
