Iranian will to develop oil industry unalterable

IRNA quoted Mr Gholam Hossein Nozari Iran's oil minister as saying that "After many years of cooperation and studies we try to reach an agreement with these companies, but if they cannot continue their cooperation by any reason, there are many other companies which are ready to cooperate with Iran, especially in the field of liquid natural gas.”

Mr Nozari answering a question about date of final agreement with India and Pakistan concerning peace pipeline, said that "Considering the importance of the issue and since it is a huge project, it needs adequate time and its progress now is satisfactory."
