Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Pakistani counterpart Hanna Rabbani have called on relevant officials to do their best to remove existing barriers to the expedition of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project.
In a recent meeting in New York, the two sides pointed out that more delay in implementation of the pipeline on Pakistani soil is not economically viable, and vowed to coordinate efforts to make the project operational in the near future.
The Fars New Agency reports that Iran wishes to export its natural gas to Pakistan, India and China through the pipeline.
Iran has already built its 900kme share of the pipeline on its own soil and is waiting for the 700km Pakistani side of the pipeline to be built.
Iran and Pakistan signed an agreement over the construction of a gas pipeline in 1995.Â
