China has urged Pakistan to clear $220 million in outstanding payments owed to United Energy Pakistan (UEP), warning that delays risk undermining investor confidence and disrupting operations, The News reported, quoting officials. According to sources in the Petroleum Division, Pakistan’s ambassador in Beijing sent an urgent note stressing that the dues relate to gas supplied by UEP to Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), which currently receives 260-270 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd). Liquidity constraints have reportedly forced the UEP to lay off staff in recent weeks.
