Islamabad, (PTI): Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, on Friday met his Pakistani counterpart Inam-ul Haque and both the leaders reviewed progress in the multi-billion dollar gas pipeline project, in which India is the third party.
The two foreign ministers reviewed progress in talks about the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, officials said.
Recently, Iran and Pakistan held talks in Tehran, without India's participation, to finalise crucial agreements for the project.


Mottaki also met President Musharraf who called for expediting work on the gas pipeline project.

Musharraf, during meeting with Mottaki, backed Iran's efforts to make peaceful use of atomic energy and opposed the use of force to resolve the issue of its nuclear programme.
