MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Moscow and Islamabad on Friday signed an agreement on the construction of the Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline, the Russian Energy Ministry said.
"The signing will allow our companies to begin practical implementation of the project in the very near future, thereby helping the Pakistani side to strengthen its own energy security and increase the use of natural gas as an environmentally friendly source of energy," Nikolai Shulginov, Russia's Energy Minister, said in a statement issued by his ministry.
