Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Hungarian Economy Minister Mihaly Varga. Zanganeh said Hungary has experience in the Pakistani gas sectors. including exploration and production and has operated in the country for many years.
Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. which stretches for 900 kilometers only in Iran. has been designed to help populous Pakistan overcome its growing energy needs.
Pakistan has fallen short of constructing the 700-kilometer part of the pipeline on its territory.
