According to Reuters, on the 11th local time, Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif announced that the first batch of low-priced Russian oil has arrived at Karachi Port in Pakistan.
Sherif posted on social media that this is the first batch of oil that Russia is shipping to Pakistan, and it is also the beginning of a new relationship between Pakistan and Russia. Sheriff also expressed his respect to all those who participated in and contributed to this work. According to Reuters, on the evening of the 11th local time, an official at Karachi Port stated that oil transported from Russia was being unloaded.
After the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in February last year, the United States, the European Union, and others successively imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Russia, covering Russian crude oil and oil products. Russia subsequently shifted all oil exports to friendly countries. According to the Russian satellite news agency, at the end of March this year, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Russian and Pakistani companies were cooperating on the issue of Russian oil supply, reaching a preliminary agreement on prices, and discussing the transportation of a batch of experimental fuel.
According to Reuters, after the first batch of Russian oil arrives in Pakistan, the import volume is expected to reach 100000 barrels per day thereafter.
