India says pipeline not political



By Upstream staff 

Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon has rejected any link between the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project and the political situation in the region, particularly the Iran nuclear issue.

"We don't see the project having any link with the general and political situation in the region," Menon told reporters at the 4th round of the Pakistan-India Composite Dialogue.

Menon added, however, that the IPI project had not yet been finalised.

"We still have to do a lot of detailing of the project, that is, its structure, cost and pricing. These details still need to be worked out," he said.
