Energy, sanctions, and diplomacy: Reviving the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline
['Khadija Almus Khanum']
The Express Tribune
The Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline (IPGP), also called the Peace Pipeline, offered a direct and cost-effective solution, promising a steady supply of natural gas from Iran.
In 2013, construction of the pipeline was inaugurated in Pakistan, but progress stalled due to concerns over U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Pakistan can leverage the environmental benefits of natural gas as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil to strengthen its case for the Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline (IPGP) project.
Strengthening bilateral ties with Iran is crucial for the IPGP project success, too.
In conclusion, while the IPGP project is viable for Pakistan’s growing energy needs and economic stability, it is more than a pipeline.
