Qatar agrees to supply LNG:
"Expressing a friendly gesture, Qatar has agreed to supply 500mcfd Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Pakistan to resolve energy issue, TheNation learnt reliably.
But at the same time, it has out-rightly declined to construct LNG terminal at Karachi.
The sources privy to the development told that a special meeting held here in the premises of the ministry under the chair Petroleum & Natural Resources Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to discuss major development regarding import of LNG from Qatar to Pakistan after farmer’s willingness to supply LNG to the later. Officials of the ministry attended this very important meeting, which has prepared three-point framework. The petroleum ministry would dispatch a summary on three-point framework to the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the federal cabinet for its approval. The meeting seriously discussed the nitty gritty of the construction of LNG terminal if LNG is imported. The meeting also talked about exemption from PPRA rules to bring imported LNG to Pakistan through constructing LNG terminal. However, Ogra has so far declined to give exemption of licence for the construction of LNG terminal, sources added. "
