India to discuss Iran gas pipeline in Pakistan

You have to wonder what they are going to do about the
Balochi tribes?

NEW DELHI: Indian Oil Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar on Monday said he would visit Islamabad in the second half of May to discuss the modalities of a gas pipeline from Iran through Pakistan to India.

"Over the weekend, I received an invite from the Pakistan Prime Minister through their High Commission (embassy) in India to visit Islamabad in April," Aiyar told reporters in New Delhi, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency said.

"But as I will not be available on the date mentioned, I have proposed postponement of my visit to the second half of May," he said.

Aiyar is due to visit Tehran in June to seal the deal for the import of natural gas from Iran via a 2,600-kilometer overland pipeline.
