Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik has thanked Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) for facilitating Pakistani-flagged vessels for any likely lifting of diesel and jet fuel amid global and regional challenges. Malik met Kuwaiti Ambassador Nassar Abdulrahman Jasser Almutairi on Monday to discuss bilateral ties, energy cooperation, and regional developments. The meeting came a day after Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar announced that Iran will allow 20 additional Pakistani-flagged vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, with two ships crossing daily, calling it a “welcome and constructive gesture” by Tehran.
