Lahore, Nov 25: US today asked Pakistan to quit from the Pak-Iran gas pipeline project, as Washington stepped up efforts to internationally isolate Tehran for its alleged nuclear weapons programme.
American Ambassador in Islamabad Cameron Munter said that proposed pipeline was not a “good idea” and suggested it would be better if Pakistan focussed on importing energy from Turkmenistan.
But, reacting to the US envoy’s remarks, Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan said Pakistan would not accept any “dictation” on the pipeline project with Iran.
Pakistan would make all decisions on the basis of its national interests, she told reporters in Islamabad.
