On Wednesday, Prime Minister Imran Khan left for Moscow to kick the construction of a long-delayed, multi-billion-dollar gas pipeline to be built in collusion with Russian firms, an official said. The prime minister’s stint to meet President Vladimir Putin and discuss issues including economic cooperation came hours after several Western nations hit Russia with new sanctions for its military deployment into eastern Ukraine. “Both countries are eager to launch the project at the earliest,” Pakistan’s energy ministry spokesman confided about the Pakistan Stream gas pipeline.
