April 27: Tass states that The construction of the North-South natural gas pipeline with capacity of 12.4 bln cubic meters in Pakistan may be launched in 2018, Rostec Corporation Director for International Cooperation and Regional Policy Viktor Kladov told TASS, adding that the launch might be delayed beyond this year due to the lack of agreements on gas transit fees. "We still plan to launch the construction of the North-South gas pipeline in 2018. However, the date may be postponed as negotiations on transit tariffs have not been completed. Our position is clear: tariffs should ensure return on investment. Respective agreements have not been reached yet," he said.
