President Pervez Musharraf is pressing for the construction of gas and oil pipelines between Pakistan and China, to strengthen bilateral ties.
“Pakistan is very much in favor of a pipeline between the Gulf and
China through Pakistan, and I have been speaking about this with your
leadership,” Musharraf is quoted as saying to students and academics at
Tsinghua University in Beijing on his six-day visit to China which ends
April 15.
Media reports that he said a proposed gas pipeline between Iran and India through Pakistan could be expanded to include China.
