Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik has said the recent disruption in the Strait of Hormuz has exposed “how vulnerable our energy supply chains are”.

Noting that the entire global energy system was going through a “structural reset”, Malik stressed the need to “shift the entire paradigm” regarding energy security.

“We must also appreciate what does energy security actually imply,” he said, describing it as fundamentally linked to resilience, diversification, storage, flexibility, and infrastructure preparedness.
