April 29 (Bloomberg) -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and visiting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attempt to hammer out an agreement today on a delayed gas pipeline through Pakistan, dismissing U.S. fears the project may finance the Middle Eastern nation's nuclear program.
“There will be a proposed review that will be taking place which will discuss the price, review the price, certification and project structure,'' Manu Srivastava, director at the Ministry of Petroleum, said in a telephone interview from New Delhi yesterday. ``There are a lot of issues to be resolved.”
India and Pakistan need natural gas from Iran, with the world's second-largest reserves of the fuel, because a shortage of energy will curb economic growth. India last week rebuffed U.S. calls to push Ahmadinejad to end Iran's nuclear program.
