Press TV, Pakistan, India close to finalizing pipeline deal
After years of discussion, it looks like the pipeline carryig natural gas from Iran to Pakistan and India may finally be going ahead.

Pakistan and Iran on Monday resolved all issues on the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project, and agreed to ink an agreement soon, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported on Monday.

    Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and visiting Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, after talks in Islamabad, told the media that the 7.5-billion-dollar project will help meet future energy needs of Pakistan, the official news agency said.

    The talks between the heads of state "paved the way for inking an agreement soon at a mutually agreed date in Tehran," APP added.

    The IPI gas pipeline project, which has been under discussions since 1994, is to deliver natural gas from Iran to Pakistan and India.
