Musadik Malik State Minister for Petroleum stated that Russia has confirmed to supply raw oil at discounted prices, a step that helps in bringing down the energy import for country.
While addressing a press conference, he said that Russia would provide petrol and diesel to Pakistan at the discounted price.
Moreover, expensive fuel is Pakistan’s issue with a crashing economy hard pressed to finance its increasing energy needs.
Furthermore, Malik said,“We approached a few private Russian firms for LNG but the government urged us to ink deals for 2025-26,” he said.
“Acting in the best interest of Pakistan, the government approached Russia to resolve fuel woes. We will solve the energy problem. We will begin talks with government-owned companies of Russia soon,” he stated further.
Minister highlighted that Country has also discussed pipeline connections with Russia and deadlines too.
