Pakistan vows to complete pipeline project with Iran

Pakistan said Thursday it would pursue a multi-billion dollar gas pipeline project with Iran despite US pressure as it is vital to overcome the country's energy crisis.

"Pakistan is pursuing important projects with Iran such as gas pipeline, electricity transmission and also building a more robust trade partnership between the two countries," Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said.

"All of these projects are in Pakistan's national interest and will be pursued and completed irrespective of any extraneous consideration."
