ISLAMABAD – Bilateral talks between Pakistan and Russia are underway while a delegation from Kremlin will visit the South Asian nation on January 17 to discuss oil, LNG deal, and the multi-billion-dollar gas pipeline project.

Reports in local media suggest that Islamabad is set to host a Russian delegation, arriving tomorrow to discuss an oil and LNG trade deal and the much-hyped Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline (PSGP) project.

It was reported that an 80-member delegation will visit Pakistan on a three-day visit for bilateral talks under the forum of the Inter-Governmental Commission (IGC).

Islamabad and Kremlin will exchange views on electric power, hydropower, renewable energy sources, and oil, and gas production cooperation.

In-depth discussions are also on cards to amplify trade and investments, especially in sectors of agriculture, energy, education, IT, and finance.
