The Japanese company’s representative claimed that his firm and partner company have permission to sell Russian oil and Nigerian LNG. The Japanese representative stated that if Pakistan was willing to buy oil and gas, they could sell both at a 35 percent discount to the global market.

On this occasion, Pakistani envoy Raza Bashir Tarar stated that Pakistan will consider this offer and will notify the relevant ministry and notify the Japanese company.

He commented that if global laws permit, Pakistan should have no trouble purchasing cheap oil and gas.
