Can Oil and Gas Projects bring peace?

Tehran and Islamabad will sign the Peace Pipeline Project Agreement – Oil and Gas Project

Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Petroleum Navid Qamar announced finalization of a major gas contract between Pakistan and Iran after meeting with Iranian oil officials, yesterday.

The Pakistani official said Islamabad and Tehran are posed to sign an accord for the construction of a pipeline next week. The proposed pipeline is 2,775 km long and dubbed as the Peace Pipeline, connecting Iran-Pakistan and India. However, for the time being India is reluctant to join the contract because of New Delhi’s concerns over its safety and some unresolved border issues with Pakistan.

Do you think the peace pipeline project will bring peace in one of the most troubled region? Please comment and let me know?
