Oil experts from Iran and Pakistan will meet in Teheran on Tuesday to add finishing touches to the $7-billion gas pipeline project linking the two countries as well as India, which is not attending the talks, a media report said.
On Sunday, Iranian oil minister's special envoy for the pipeline talks Hojjatollah Ghanimifard said final touches to the contract would be given this week.
"We have invited Pakistan to Tehran to restudy the finalised text," he was quoted as saying by Tehran Times. In the last round of Iran-Pakistan negotiations in Islamabad, most of the text was finalised and legal experts of Iran made the necessary changes and sent the remaining part to their Pakistani counterparts last week. The official expressed hope that the remaining part of the text would be finalised by Tuesday.
During Islamabad talks, Ghanimifard and Pakistan's Deputy Minister for Petroleum and Natural resources agreed on the price formula the two sides had finalised in their meeting in Tehran.
Ghanimifard said the price would be reviewed every three years when conditions of oil and gas markets were normal.
