TEHRAN, June 19: Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh will visit Islamabad on Monday at the invitation of Pakistani officials to hold talks on the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline.
Iranian news agency IRNA reported on Sunday that Mr Zanganeh termed talks with Indian and Pakistani officials on the project positive, saying that political problems should be removed in the first step, while technical, commercial and legal procedures were the second-stage measures.
