On Saturday, Pakistan contacted Russia in an effort to get inexpensive oil and gas.
According to those with knowledge of the situation, letters were sent to Russia from the foreign ministry and the petroleum ministry. Apparently, the authorities have told the Russian government that they are interested in purchasing inexpensive oil and gas, but that they would not impose any limits on Pakistan.
According to the sources, a Pakistani team is ready to go to Russia if requested to discuss the purchase of inexpensive oil and gas on the basis of national interests alone. Pakistan has also promised not to break any international agreements related to its oil and gas imports.
