Earlier, during the tenure of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government, the two sides signed an agreement for import of at least one LNG cargo per month. It was not based on the controversial “take-or-pay” clause rather it was a commercial deal that could better suit Pakistan. However, Islamabad imported only a few LNG cargoes from Azerbaijan and could not continue to take supplies on a regular basis. Separately, Pakistan has been importing LNG from Qatar for many years under a long-term contract. The contract is based on the take-or-pay condition, as part of which Pakistan is bound to import gas from Doha without any interruption.
