“We want to get cheap Russian crude oil like India but that can’t happen as unfortunately, my government fell due to mistrust,” Imran Khan said in a video message.
Amid the severe economic crisis in Pakistan, Imran Khan said he was upset that his country could not buy Russian crude oil at a discounted rate. Imran Khan met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow last year in February.

Earlier, Imran Khan had acknowledged India’s growing economy saying, “There is no other leader except Nawaz in the world who has properties worth billions. Tell me about a country whose president or leader has billions in assets outside the country. Even in our neighboring country, how many properties does PM Modi have outside India? “
He also praised PM Narendra Modi’s decision to buy cheap oil from Russia saying, “Despite being part of the Quad, India resisted US pressure and bought cheap oil from Russia to facilitate its people. Our government is trying to achieve this through a liberal foreign policy. .”
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik said in April 2023 that the first ever shipment of cheap oil from Russia will arrive in Pakistan next month. The minister said that the agreement has been concluded with Moscow, adding that, “The first product will arrive next month by a shipment.”
