ISLAMABAD, May 3 Asia Pulse - Pakistan and Iran are ready to develop the multi-billion gas pipeline bilaterally in case India stays away from the project, a Foreign Office spokesperson said on Tuesday.

"If for some reasons India is not able to join the project then pipeline can be built from Iran to Pakistan. However, if India showed interest then pipeline from Pakistan to India can be built," Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said at the weekly press briefing.

Asked to elaborate on the permission being given to the Netherlands to use Pakistani airspace and airfields for missions in Afghanistan, the spokesperson said the country is already providing logistic support to NATO and ISAF in their security operation in Afghanistan.

Pakistani facilities are not for military action in Afghanistan but as a transit point. Cooperation with the Netherlands is in that context and not for military operations. Moreover, Dutch troops are not engaged in military operations in Afghanistan but maintain and provide security, she said.

About the proposal for mining and fencing of the border inside Afghanistan, Tasnim Aslam said there was movement not only from Pakistan but also from Afghanistan to Pakistan as well. To a question the spokesperson said during strategic dialogue in Washington recently, Pakistan and the United States decided that the working groups on various subjects would meet during the next two months.
