PM Shehbaz Sharif statement on coming of crude oil purchased from Russia
I have fulfilled another promise I made to my nation. I feel very happy to inform that the first batch of crude oil purchased from Russia at a discount price has reached Karachi and the process of unloading it from the ship will be started today.
Today will be remembered as a day of historic change in history. Today we have taken the first and most important step towards prosperity, economic development, energy security and low cost fuel supply. This is the first shipment of crude oil from Russia to Pakistan and it is the beginning of a new chapter in the relations between Russia and Pakistan.
On this occasion, I appreciate the efforts of all those who participated in the completion of this national initiative and played their role in turning the promise of importing crude oil from Russia into reality.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
