Iran offers help for Pakistan in energy, gas exploration

[Edevelop]

LAHORE: Pakistani businessmen can initiate Joint Ventures (JV) in areas of energy and gas exploration with Iran, said Governor General of Southern Iranian Province of Fars, Hossein Sadegh Abedin at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).

He also supported agriculture, research in medicinal plants and fibreglass manufacturing.

Province of Fars enjoys highest level of expertise in petroleum exploration and gas sector development.

Iran can help Pakistan in overcoming its woes in the field of energy by providing technological assistance and exporting energy resources.

Senator Sardar Zulfiqar Khosa said that Punjab government was taking all possible measures to increase trade and economic relations with Iran.

He said the Chief Minister Punjab, Mian Shahbaz Sharif was spending all his energies to attract foreign investment in the province and the days were not very far when the Province of Punjab would be the manufacturing hub of the country.

President Shiraz Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines, Fereidoon Forghani said the chambers in the two countries should play their respective role in enhancing the bilateral trade and dissemination of trade-related information.

Forghani said a lot of business could be done provided the two sides have required information and this was the area where chambers of commerce could play their role.

LCCI President Irfan Qaiser Sheikh stressed the need for a greater share in bilateral trade, which would guarantee some economic benefits to Pakistan as well.

He said China and Russia have already started trade in their local currencies. Barter trade should also be actively facilitated since it can be highly efficient mode of buying and selling. He said it was high time that we also put in place such mechanisms.

Sheikh said the bilateral trade between Pakistan and Iran from the last some years was constantly maintaining the level of over one billion dollars.

And there exists a lot of potential to take it to over $2 billion mark if smuggling is curtailed and direct trade is started instead of trading via third destination.

He said the smuggling of petrochemicals from Iran was adversely affecting Pakistan economy therefore there was a dire need of formalising the trade between the two countries.

He suggested bringing the circular trade into the main stream bilateral trade in the larger interests of the two countries.

The upcoming Iranian Exhibition Iran Fair 2012 scheduled for May 31 would help in expansion of businesses.

We share lots of things in common, including history and linguistics.

The problem arises because of religious sects.... shia vs sunni. I do not like Zardari, Benazir and Bhutto, but i think based on this topic, they both have handled well... Its always the fake wahabbis in our country that do not try to understand this. Somehow, they think as if Saudis are are the chosen ones....Though Iranians do have someone like Kohmeini, the difference is he has shown maturity towards other muslim states.

I think overall this is the best chance for Pakistan and Iran to come near. Both have a downfall in economic growth and both are sort of in the sanctioning range and the luckiest part is, we are neighbours.... What we can offer them are: agricultural items and military weapons and what they can offer us are electricity and gas.

We should do joint projects in making cars, buses, trains, helicopters, and other engineering related work as well...

From the bottom of my heart I believe that it is not a sect issue. Saud family want to preserve their personal rule and teh example of Iran where they threw out a pro American dictator does not bode well for them

So if you people want to do business with Iran, how you gonna do it? I think everyone forget what happened to Gas pipeline issue and no Pakistani Banks are dealing with Irani banks. So how will you do business with Iran? through Hundi?

If you can do it to with your enemy (India) on the Eastern border, why can't you do it with friendly nations on the Western border. There is no rocket science here.
Changes need to happen. We need to come out of our existing phobia....

Duh!

Are Indian companies and banks under American sanctions?

What kind of argument is that? Have you my dear dear poster, no idea that "trade" means taking someone's products and giving them "money" in return.

Iran cannot pay money to Pakistan
And Pakistan cannot pay money to Iran

for any trade between the two countries. Key word is "sanctions".


Unless off course Pakistan is getting FREE gas (methane from Iranian cows and other animals)

Because we cannot pay for the natural gas.


peace.

Some on here fail to grasp the fact that our geo strategic interests and common enemy in Americans means inevitably (whether they like it or not) Pakistan and Iran will draw towards each other

 

[BATMAN]

faujihistorian, All transactions are allowed if US permits it and this is a fact!
Banking is a secret operation, press cannot report,,, but i can tell you for fact that trade from selective countries is taking place.
While Indians being double agents and privy to the Americans are always in upper position of negotiations, when ever Americans try to exclude them from the privileged club.

Actually, Iran's sanctions can be termed as monopolizing trade with Iran.

hahahahahahahahah.


Sorry my dear poster. I couldn't stop laughing.

You know, "FREE" trade is not actually free? You still have to pay.



hahahahhaha


No disrespect intended. Just laughing at the innocence,.


peace,
