Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar conducted a thorough review of Pakistan’s petroleum reserves, affirming that the country possesses ample fuel stocks to satisfy national consumption needs through April and beyond.
The high-level meeting, held in Islamabad on Thursday, aimed to address rising concerns over energy security as ongoing instability in the Middle East continues to affect global oil markets. Attendees included the Federal Ministers for Petroleum and Economic Affairs, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Tariq Bajwa, along with senior federal and provincial officials.
During the briefing, officials presented a detailed analysis of current inventory levels, reassuring the Deputy Prime Minister that the reserves remain strong despite the regional turmoil. Senator Dar expressed confidence in the existing stockpiles but instructed relevant authorities to ensure strict inter-agency coordination to avoid any supply chain disruptions.
He also highlighted the importance of vigilant monitoring to shield domestic consumers from potential price fluctuations. The Ministry of Energy was tasked with delivering regular updates on strategic maritime routes and import schedules to maintain supply stability.
