Pakistan says it has intensified its efforts to materialise it

Pakistan has said that the proposed Iran gas pipeline project would probably be completed within a year.

Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that he believed the trade restrictions against Iran would be lifted, following an agreement with world powers on its nuclear programme, Dawn News reports.

Khaqan said that the present situation seemed appropriate for carrying out the proposed IP gas pipeline project, and that Pakistan had intensified its efforts to materialise it.
