Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Revenue and Finance Dr. Waqar Masood Khan stated at a joint news conference with Energy Minister Hammad Azhar that an announcement had been made for $1.5bn per year in deferred payment oil deliveries from Saudi Arabia.
However, he failed to elaborate on the specifics of the oil facility and the reasons for its reduction from the $3 billion originally agreed upon almost three years ago, which could not be implemented efficiently due to deteriorating bilateral ties.
