A delegation from leaves for Russia for cheaper oil deal talks.

Musadik Malik, the state minister for petroleum, is leading a delegation that left for Russia on Monday to discuss a deal for the import of cheap oil. Pakistan will be able to save money and combat the growing cost of fuel due to the deal for the import of oil at a low price.

Talks about cooperation between Islamabad and Moscow in the petroleum sector would be held by the delegation, chaired by Musadik Malik and including Secretary of Petroleum Muhammad Mahmood.

Furthermore, the construction work on the Pak-Stream Gas Line will also come under discussion. Earlier, the National Assembly was informed that a high-power delegation would soon visit Russia to negotiate any possibility of long-term cooperation to acquire gas and oil.
