In a fresh push towards completion of a multibillion-dollar gas supply project, the outgoing federal cabinet on Monday gave the nod to complete the first phase of the 80-kilometre Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project within the country’s territory.
Commenting on the formation of the government in Islamabad, Matthew Miller said that the formation of a new government is the internal affairs of Pakistan led by the people of Pakistan and the US is not a party to it.

Answering a question regarding massive rigging in elections, the spokesperson said: “For investigations into reported irregularities, we want to see those investigations proceed. We want to see them wrapped up as soon as possible.”
Replying to a question, Matthew Miller said: “We want to see a government move forward in a way that reflects the will of the Pakistani people.”
