Hopefully. I don't see any reason for Pakistan to face an energy crisis when their neighbor in the west has the biggest supply of gas and oil in the whole world. All they have to do is to stop letting a foreign country dictate their policies. Although I'm not that familiar with Pakistan politics but it looked like Imran Khan was working towards more independence before he was removed from office in a suspicious way.

I'm hopeful for the future though. A lot of things are changing like the news you shared. So far the Eastern Bloc is working a lot better than before (eg. pre-WW) and based on mutual benefits. Some countries like Turkey that played the middle are screwed but everyone else seems to be finding their sides already.

Imran khan was removed from power just to bring back the pro USA politicians back in power i.e. Shahbaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. The regime change operation was done by Pakistan army. Majority of people here support imran khan and it seems that sooner or later the people will lose temper against these puppets of usa and we have a revolution like we have in Iran. Other then that there is no hope.

The original plan (which was suggested two decades ago) was to transfer Iranian gas to India through Pakistan. If this project was implemented, it would have been immensely beneficial for Pakistan, as they will get billions of USD in transit fees in addition to extremely cheap Iranian natural gas. It got stuck after the terrorist incidents in India and as the relations between both the countries got cold. Iranian gas gets wasted (flared) now, as they don't have any pipelines or LNG terminals to export it to other countries.

It was originally IPI (iran Pakistan india) and proposed back in mid 90s. India backed out since they don't wanna get dependent on Pakistan for its energy supplies. Moreover usa offered India nuclear deal as an alternative to this deal. There are many reasons for India quitting this project but Pakistan should have finished it by now to meet its energy needs.
