He said Pakistan had not yet decided on any gas pipeline project as it had three options - the Turkmenistan -Afghanistan -Pakistan pipeline, Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline and the Qatar-Pakistan gas pipeline. ÒPakistan would be able to decide which project suits us once we have the feasibility studies of the three projects,Ó he added.

ÒIran had asked Pakistan to give a commitment regarding the quantum of gas it would buy from Tehran after the pipeline was completed,Ó sources said. They said Pakistan replied that it was not in a position to give a commitment to Iran as
it had already undertaken to buy gas from the Turkmenistan -Afghanistan -Pakistan gas pipeline.-----
