ISLAMABAD: Iran can become a major energy exporter for Pakistan which can get up to 3,000MW of electricity from its western neighbour, official documents claim.

According to the Foreign Office, Pakistan currently imports 74MW of electricity from Iran for its coastal Makran division. This import will be increased to 100MW this month. The two countries are considering another two projects, involving import of 1,000MW and 100MW of power.


Iran offers 3,000MW of electricity at low rate

However, Iran has the potential to increase its electricity export to 3,000MW to energy-starved Pakistan, the FO said in a written reply placed before Senate on Friday.

The document says the two countries are in the process of finalising the deal for construction of phase-1 of Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project. In the first phase of this much awaited project, a pipeline will be laid from Gwadar in Balochistan to Nawabshah in Sindh.

In the second phase, Pakistan will work on the 80km long portion of the pipeline linking it with Iranian border. The second phase depends upon lifting of international sanctions on Iran.

The FO further says both the countries have also agreed to set up two additional crossing points – Mand-Pishin and Gadb-Reemdan – at the border. The crossing point at Gadb-Reemdan will reduce distance between Pakistan’s under-construction Gwadar deep-sea port to Iran’s Chabahar.

Ranking in Human Rights Index

In reply to another question, the Senate was told that Pakistan’s ranking in the global Human Development Index stands at 147 out of 188 countries. Human Development Index evaluation is based on long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living.

The government figures show Pakistan’s literacy rate in 2013-14 was 59.98 per cent. An overall 71.29 per cent males and 48.35 female population of the country is literate. These statistics are based on age group of 10 plus population.

The statistics are released by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics based on Labour Force Survey conducted during fiscal year 2013-14. Punjab has highest 61.77 per cent literacy rate among the provinces, followed by Sindh with 61.38 per cent, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) with 53.16 per cent and Balochistan with 51.84 per cent.

The upper house of parliament was also provided gender-wise data of literacy rate that shows that there is a huge disparity between male and female literacy particularly in the K-P and Balochistan. Overall literacy for males is more than 70 per cent in all provinces.

In Punjab, the biggest province in terms of population, 71.29 males are literate while amongst the female population, the literacy rate is only 48.35 per cent.

Sindh has highest female literacy rate among the four provinces where 70.40 per cent of males and 53.26 per cent of females come under the category of literate population. The K-P has the highest literacy rate for males, which is 72.08 per cent while only 35.06 per cent of the female population in the province is literate. Male-female disparity in the literacy rate is the worst in Balochistan, where 70.30 per cent male are considered literate in contrast to 28.70 per cent literate female population.

sad thing is there are a lot of people like your thinking in Pakistan who believe on ummah, the same ummah who f'd Pakistan over and over.
 
cut this bullshit please
why...???
1. After the independence of Pakistan in August 1947, Iran had the unique distinction of being the first country to internationally recognise the sovereign status of Pakistan.
2. Iran again played a vital role in Pakistan's 1971 conflict with India, this time supplying military equipment as well as diplomatic support against India.
3. When widespread armed insurgency broke out in Pakistan's Balochistan Province in 1973, Iran, offered large-scale support. The Iranians provided Pakistan with military hardware (including thirty Huey cobra attack helicopters), intelligence sharing, and $200 million in aid.
 
No need to import it . must increase our capacities

Mate you didnt get my point. I said we are all are ummati of Muhammad PBUH. Its a universal fact no muslim can deny it. And talking about relation with any country so its based on mutual interest and respect. I only support that countey who support Pakistan. Simple hai xyxmt bhai :)

no one is denying we are all ummati and its a fact and you dont need to keep repeating that fact over and over, just like whenever you see your parents you dont tell everyone again that they are your parents. Having said that dont bring this ummah thing in the relationship of two countries. India sells us onion does not mean that are ummah too. Its a very childish statement and that all.

ok ok keep singing that song...please continue to make fun of yourself
 
Pakistan should import electricity from anywhere it thinks fit. Give its power starved industry the much needed energy supply, which in turn will generate jobs and more revenue, translating into more taxes for the the govt. , Which it can use to build power plants to stop the imports of electricity.
