Bangladesh is looking into importing oil from Russia, said Advisor to the Prime Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Dr Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury​

The United States (US) has no objection to Bangladesh importing fuel oil from Russia, said Advisor to the Prime Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Dr Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury.

"I had a conversation with the US Under Secretary. I wanted to know if there is any restriction on the import of oil from Russia. He said there is no ban on oil, fertiliser and food by the United States. So we can assume that there is no problem in importing oil from Russia or other countries," Dr Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury said during a press briefing at the Prime Minister's Office on Wednesday (31 August).

Advisor to the Prime Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Dr Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury held a meeting with US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W Fernandez at the US Department of State in Washington DC on Thursday (18 August).

"We think the United States will support us in importing fuel oil," he added.

Fuel price hike has been one of the most discussed issues in the country that have further fueled the already high inflation, causing people to fall into grave distress.

The sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and its European allies since the Ukraine war broke out have disrupted global supply chains of fuel oil and gas, sending prices sky high. While most countries are scrambling to secure their fuel supplies, the crisis has opened new avenues for brisk business for a few.
As the sanctions reduced its market in the West since the Ukraine war, Russia is offering discounts on its fuel oil shipments. China, India, and even the world's second-largest oil producer Saudi Arabia are making the best use of the offer; they are buying cheaper Russian oils to meet domestic demand as well as exporting to Europe at much higher prices after refining.

Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina directed the relevant ministries and departments to figure out a way to import fuel oil from Russia in their own currency.

Rosneft Oil Company, a Russian state-owned company, offered to sell finished oil to Bangladesh as the South Asian country does not have the capacity to refine Moscow's crude oil.

Good news import away. If we can strike a long term deal set up refinaries in country.
Seems like a win win for all.

This fokinni mindset really irks me. What the hell does he mean by "the Unites States will support us in importing oil"?
Is the US going to buy oil for BD from Russia?
Would the US FTC negotiate prices with Russia on our behalf?
Would they offer credit for fuel imports?
Are we seeking US donations for setting up refineries configured to refine Russian crude?
Or is it free transportation of fuel by US tankers that we are after?

 

[Super Falcon]

pakistan has to understand from this example we have to get on our foot stop taking stupid loans and supporting money from other countries to run pakistan stop it and get some respect back by getting self sufficiant

It's not a fokirni mindset - it's the reality.

If US opinion did not matter then everybody, including Pakistan, would be buying Russian Oil rather than staving off bankruptcy.

Like it or not most countries benefit from the USA - it's massive consumer market, remittances, weapons, loans and aid. So it can't be dismissed.

It's very important to play the game right

it is written right there - they'll support us by not objecting. As you've seen elsewhere with Pakistan, they have not supported it.

 

[SaadH]

Take that "neutrals"...this is how free nations live and behave in contrast to enslaved nations ruled by colonial sepoys.

But West had objected to India for doing it, although they can't do anything about it thats another matter

Not the West, only the USA.

I guess that's the closest thing that makes any sense. Still both hilarious and pathetic.

then Bekhari general dropped his kakkis and took it without lube from his masters

 

[Beast]

The BD minister must threaten the US in the BG that they will tile towards China if US obstruct oil import from Russia to ease their inflation problem.

 

[Finer]

Because Israel wants Pakistan crippled to make easy invasion for India.

One way or other, Pakistan is being pressurized with economic sanctions; directly or indirectly.
