"India and Pakistan have begun talks on a proposed natural gas
pipeline from Iran to India.

The multi-billion dollar project, which would provide India with
much-needed natural gas, would have to pass through Pakistani territory.
"

"Correspondents say India has embarked on "pipeline
diplomacy" to meet its rising energy needs.

Three pipelines are under consideration - from Iran through Pakistan, from
Turkmenistan through Pakistan and Afghanistan, and from Burma through
Bangladesh.

Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan stand to reap millions of dollars in
transit fees. "
