The embassy did not provide details on Iran’s involvement, and it was not immediately clear how much the LPG cost or if it was discounted.
This marks Islamabad’s second major Russian energy purchase after Pakistan received its first-ever delivery of Russian crude under a deal struck between the two countries earlier this year.
As reported, Pakistan paid for the Russian crude in Chinese currency but the value of the deal was never disclosed.
