Pakistan offers Bangladesh its energy crisis strategies
Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik discussed fuel supply security and subsidies with Bangladesh's Finance Adviser in Islamabad.
Pakistan has expressed readiness on Monday to share its energy crisis strategies with Bangladesh, the state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported.
Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik made the offer during talks in Islamabad with Bangladesh's Finance Adviser Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir.
The two sides discussed the global energy crisis and energy security, and reviewed steps to keep fuel supplies uninterrupted and reduce the impact of the global energy crunch.
Malik briefed the adviser on the government's efforts to ensure fuel availability despite difficult international conditions.
He also told the adviser about the government's targeted fuel subsidy initiatives, which are aimed at providing relief to the public.
Titumir stressed that diversifying energy sources and supply routes is a core component of national energy strategy.
He praised Pakistan's diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the Iran conflict, the adviser said during the meeting.
He also welcomed Islamabad's efforts to secure liquefied natural gas cargoes from Qatar through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway in the Gulf, is a major route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
Pakistan imports liquefied natural gas, and a large share of its LNG has come from Qatar, which makes secure shipping routes a key concern for its energy planning.
