Ready to buy Russian oil at same rate India is purchasing: Ishaq Dar

Instead of telling WHOPPING lies try to give up your fantasies and digest the ACTUAL fact that India buys Russian oil at 30% LANDED below brent crude price
This is known to every tom dick and harry in the oil trade
Why are you so mad ? That is that I read from Indonesian analist comment in Indonesian media recently. Many wants Russian oil now, even BD wants it. Market mechanism will of course dictate the Russian price. The situation is different with in the beginning of war where only China and India want it. The price will likely keep being cheaper, but not as much cheaper compared the beginning of Western sanction on Russia.

We can see even Russian gets more money from oil during the war compared to 2021 despite in 2021 oil price has gone up from 60 USD per barrel in the first quarter of the year into around 80 USD per barrel in second semester of the year.

Any way, Indian trade deficit this year around double India had in 2021, so the discounted Russian oil is not really helping your origin country economy under current circumtances either.

This kind of language is not diplomatic.

You wanna buy cheap energy from Russia, go ahead why do you mention India?

Instead of unveiling personal obsession with India, think about the national interests of each Pakistani citizen. Considering the traditional military and economic partnerahip between India and Russia, it is not in interest of Pakistani side to Ask for cheap energy in this way.

Russia gave Pakistan the needed Signal, it was an stupid act to take it into international level, this should have become a behind the scene talks. Unless Pakistanis want to bully Russians lol.

It may cause damage to the possible Russian role in TAPI pipeline too.

  • Ishaq Dar hopes West would have no objection.
  • Says 10 months enough for govt to restore political prestige.
  • Optimistic on Pakistan's exit from FATF grey list.
WASHINGTON: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has shown an indication to buy Russian oil but on the condition that it provides the important commodity at the same rate that it is giving it to India, reported The News.

While replying to a question in Washington, Dar hoped that the West would have no objection to the import of Russian oil at a discounted rate due to Pakistan’s financial hardship triggered by the recent catastrophic floods.

On the length of the incumbent government, the finance minister said that the coalition government in the Centre have enough time to return to the political front.

“10 months are enough for the government to restore its political prestige and win popularity. We were to select one thing among the two: either to save our politics or the state. We opted for the second,” he said while commenting on the by-polls results.

To a question about US President Biden’s statement on Pakistan’s nuclear programme, he said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had already said that a robust command and control system was in place in the country. The US authorities also acknowledge it often, he added.

On the recent Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) recent meeting, Dar is optimistic that Pakistan would get out of the watchdog’s grey list. A meeting is expected in a few days and the government is hopeful that the country would come out of the FATF grey list, he said.

The finance minister was in Washington on a four-day visit where he met IMF, World Bank officials and others.
Why not to buy at a even better lesser rate?
What's this comparison with India on everything seriously.I guess they worked out indian enmity emotionally triggers the general public.
 
The onus is now on Russia to match or lower price than they offer to India.

Russia should decide if they want to partner with Pakistan or India.
Russia dosent have to decide between India or Pakistan, Russia can sell oil to Pakistan if Pakistan has the money to pay and if Pakistan has the refineries to process the Russian crude oil and the means to make payments with Russia under sanctions.

I think you have misunderstood what the Pakistani finance ministry was trying to point out as an Iranian you of all people should understand double standards. Your own Tehran government argues Pakistan india isreal have nukes why Iran is blocked. India or China which ever country name we say , it still comes back to the main point why Pakistan was stopped. Pakistan has no issue with Delhi Moscow friendship we are mature enough to live with it. And Russia , is not bothered or fussy how Pakistan puts its case to the world. Please explain, how you would keep such an oil deal with Pakistan and putin quite , long enough for oil deliveries. Pm khan only visit to Moscow , had the entire EU ambassadors in Islamabad up in arms kicking down our foreign office door to complain. Under these circumstances Pakistan has a legitimate claim to put forward why rules r not sane for everyone.
 
I still do. I also maintain that any $ saved from unlikely Russian oil will not be sufficient to cover subsidies on fuel.

This statement from Mr. Dar has the same effect as that from the previous administration. It is a show of intent. :cheers:
Well if it is a fiction than Dar saab is peddling fiction as a responsible state minister. Carry on .
 
So what will America do ? Bring another no confidence vote against PDM ? :rofl:
