Pakistan intends to formally request a waiver from US sanctions for the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project, with a finalized draft prepared for submission.
Petroleum Minister Musadik Malik affirmed this, highlighting the project's inability to withstand sanctions' burden. Amid energy needs and sanctions, Pakistan aims to balance international compliance and domestic demands.
The caretaker government's postponement of exemption filing was due to evolving geopolitics. Malik assured a comprehensive presentation of Pakistan's case, lobbying for exemptions based on political and technical grounds. Approval for an 80-kilometer pipeline was previously granted, with decisions managed by a ministerial committee.
