"Since 1990s Pakistan has been trying to materialize the TAPI and IP gas pipeline projects. The Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India (TAPI), is a $7.6 billion gas pipeline project, stretching over 1680 kilometres from Turkmenistan’s gas fields to Afghanistan, Pakistan and ending at the Indian town of Fazilka. Whereas, the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline is committed to bring 21.5 million cubic meters of the Iranian natural gas, per day to Pakistan covering a distance of 2100 kms. The sad part of the story is these attempts remained hostage to continued American objections to Pak-Iran cooperation as well as to the political insecurity and the resultant instability in Afghanistan and some parts of Pakistan."
