MOSCOW....The leaders of Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan and India’s energy minister signed a preliminary agreement in Turkmenistan’s capital, Ashgabat, to proceed with plans for the American-backed pipeline, the Russian news agency Itar-Tass and other regional media reported.
United States officials hope that the line, called TAPI, will not only bolster Afghanistan’s economy by generating transit fees but will strengthen ties between the archrivals India and Pakistan....
Note: Lest you think the title here is me spinning the story--I'm using today's print edition headline for this story--I have no idea why they changed it on the net version to something less controversial.
Comments
an important quote from the piece I should have included above:
The United States is backing the line as an alternative to the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India, or IPI, pipeline that would tap Iran’s large South Pars gas field.

I have long hoped (15 years?) that the IPI deal would happen since it would be some sort of bloc not built upon the larger global energy combines.
Oh well.
