'Historic' pipeline deal would power Pakistan with gas from Iran
They said the pipeline would move through Pakistan and reach India.
"It's a milestone toward meeting energy needs of the country," Pakistani Energy Minister Naveed Qamar said.
The project, deemed by Qamar as an "historic achievement," was delayed for about 15 years.
Officials said the gas would be pumped from Iran's South Fars field.
