Pakistan’s top leadership on Thursday underlined the country’s commitment to pursue energy projects with Iran, including a multi-billion dollar gas pipeline, despite growing pressure from the US to abandon such ventures.
“We have bilateral relations with Iran and we are a sovereign country. We will do whatever is in the interests of our country. There is no perception of a threat,” Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said.
He made the remarks while responding to a question about US threats to energy projects with Iran, including the pipeline and ventures to import electricity, on “Prime Minister Online”, a monthly TV show in which he interacts with the public.
