“Pakistan expresses its gratitude to Azerbaijan for its assistance and support in the process of localizing gas reserves,” said Ali Pervaiz Malik, Minister for Petroleum of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as he addressed the Baku Energy Forum.
“In recent years, a significant portion of Pakistan’s gas supply has been ensured with the support of friendly countries. Currently, the country is engaged in approximately three to four such agreements. Before entering into new agreements, we prioritize fulfilling the commitments we have already undertaken. At the same time, we are working to stimulate exploration and production,” the minister said.
He noted that Pakistan’s largest gas consumers are the energy and household sectors, adding: “We are striving to implement energy efficiency standards for household appliances.”
