SANYA (China) – Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and the Vice President of Power China Limited Li Yanming on Monday witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) between Inter-State Gas Systems (ISGS) of Pakistan and Power China for laying of North-South Gas Pipeline.

The MoU was signed in a simple ceremony held in Sanya, a City on the southern end of China’s Hainan Island.

The North-South gas pipeline would serve as a secure and continuous supply of affordable gas in areas currently showing increased demand for power generation and industrial use.

The prime minister also witnessed the signing of another MoU between Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and Power China for construction of up-country deep conversion oil refinery and laying of a crude oil pipeline.
