I think those people familiar with the agreement know that it was written many long years ago and gas prices were relatively high in international market at that time and we would have to write a new pricing agreement if we want the pipeline construction to go ahead. This is why it is a bit...

Can you explain to other simple people of the forum including myself what you mean?

How can other countries like Turkey and India settle their trades? As I earlier said that volume of Iran's trade with Turkey is more than 20 billion dollars.

Really this seems funny that we do not take benefit of better oil prices from our neighbor Iran while India, Turkey and others are importing and exporting everything they would like. Our actions in this regard simply hurt us and do not in any way help sanctions which are anyway being violated by...

This is why I said that this issue has to be studied by experts on a sector-wise basis and we follow established norms in international trade related to duties and tariffs. However this would be completely absurd if we totally avoid trade with India due to our conflicts. We can have largely...

Gas pipeline: Iranian firm offers to completely finance and construct Pakistan’s side They have shown some interest. It is very clear that agreement with Tehran will have to be re-negotiated with reference to gas prices. And we do not know how good a deal they would be willing to give us until...

Gas is certainly not free but the benefits of cheaper gas as compared to gas from other sources over the years will be huge for our economy. We have to know our interests and not play anybody's game. I have heard reports to the contrary. I have read news that our experts want the route of...

Turkey is closer to United States and Europe and Turkey imports huge amount of gas from Iran despite any international pressure. And they are investing in Iran's gas exploration and gas field devlopment. The volume of Turkey-Iran trade is huge and is probably more than 20 billion dollars...

Here are some more related comments that I have copied from Leader's thread. Naya KPK | News & Updates on the development in KPK. | Page 140

I might have misunderstood you but this is not about food reliance within the province. You are part of a large country and other parts of the country produce enough that you could buy. It is like using your land in the best possible way. There are certain type of food and fruit that you can...

Though it is natural that India would be importing more gas since it is a larger country. But wholesale vs retail comparison, when it comes to India vs Pakistan, does not apply. I strongly doubt there should be a difference of more than a dollar or so in prices for both countries. And if there...

Let us ask our US friends to match this number. 52 billion USD. @orangzaib you there? Let us make some guage for friendship here. China is a good friend for sure and we take it as one whole unit of friendship. If US invests 5.2 billion USD, we give them .1 units of friendship.

I think it was very good that different provinces went to different political parties and most of us want to see healthy competition between PTI and PML. If both parties try to do great work to transform the economic condition of the people of their provinces and rest of the country, and if...

Please stop blabbering. It is all our fault and thank you for the selfless good you like to do for us.

@Leader, Some suggestions related to agriculture in KPK. The purpose of farming and agriculture is to make the best possible sustainable use of land. God has given KPK a very different weather and the type of land is also different from rest of the areas in our country. Due to these differences...

@Leader, Before suggestions related to agriculture, I have some ideas about food security. Since KPK imports most of its food needs from other provinces, and we are aware that good timing really matters when you buy different agricultural items. When a crop of any agricultural commodity hits the...

@Leader, I want to give several other suggestions but I read in the thread that some mining investment is coming towards KPK. I made some comments about writing a good contract with mining companies with reference to Afghanistan but it is also relevant to Pakistan. So the following post and...

You guys really like Islamic law when it suits you. I am not going to continue on this. I have nothing to gain from winning any arguments here. Your nation is intelligent enough to read what message I have.

@Leader, I visited this thread after a long time and I was surprised by a lot of new work and projects of KPK government. I think this is a serious achievement for TI that they are truly and sincerely focusing on development work. I did not watch the interview with Hamid Mir but I sensed from...

We do not want any nation to pack their bags but we do not like any foreign intervention in the matters related to running our country. Do you remember the Raymond Davis incident. It became a problem for America because he threatened to reveal the extent of American spy operations in our...
