Russia can help Pakistan overcome energy crisis
KARACHI (June 16 2010): Pakistan can look to Russia for assistance in overcoming its energy crisis. This was said by Russian Consul General in Karachi Andrey V Demidov at a reception hosted at the consulate to celebrate the National Day of the Russian Federation. The Russian Consul General said his country was blessed with vast energy resources and Pakistan could utilise these resources and their expertise.
He said Russia was willing to help Pakistan exploit its vast coal reserves in Balochistan and Thar. Demidov said that strengthening relations with Pakistan was his priority and Russia would continue to interact with Pakistan in resolving global issues. He said the meetings held last year between the presidents and prime ministers of both countries had helped define concrete areas of inter-action and provided a much necessary impetus and boost to Russia-Pakistan friendship.
He said the Russian-Pakistani Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade and Economics, Scientific and Technical Co-operation is expected to start functioning soon and would give practical shape to trade potential. Speaking to the media on the occasion, Founder President Pakistan Russia Business Forum Abdur Rauf Tabani said there was huge potential for economic co-operation between the two countries, which he said was very modest.
Tabani said according to his information, the present trade turnover was no more than $400 million. He said there was great potential for Pakistani textiles in the Russian market, while there was a large scale perennial demand for Pakistani leather garments and products in Russia. He said Pakistan could also supply gems and jewellery cutting technology to Russia. Similarly Pakistan could benefit from Russia in the oil and gas drilling sector.-PR
Cheers to new Pakistan-Russia everclosing Friendship
