Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif lauds the fulfillment of another promise to the nation, underscoring the importance of this momentous occasion. Pakistan’s strategic efforts to diversify its energy sources and ensure economic growth have resulted in the successful delivery of Russian crude oil to Karachi.
Seamless Arrival Despite Challenges: Overcoming Adversity
