A Pakistani cabinet minister says Islamabad will continue to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under a 15-year agreement, despite the severing of diplomatic ties with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and some other countries.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the federal minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, said Qatar and Pakistan last year signed a $1 billion agreement, under which Qatar's Liquefied Gas Company Limited will sell LNG from 2016 to year 2031 to state-run Pakistan State Oil.
He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.
Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.
The Qatari Interior Ministry said late Wednesday that the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with "high techniques and innovative methods."
It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.
The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.
The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)
Kuwait's emir has traveled to Qatar and met that country's leader as part of his efforts to mediate an end to a crisis that's seen Arab nations cut ties to the energy-rich country and attempt to isolate it.
Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah was met planeside by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, when he arrived on Wednesday night.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a contagious, non-zoonotic viral infection affecting cattle, water buffalo and wild ruminants. It is caused by the LSD virus (LSDV) of the Capripoxvirus genus. First identified in Zambia in 1929, it became endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. It emerged in Europe in 2015, prompting mass vaccination campaigns to eradicate it by 2017. The recent outbreaks in north Africa in 2023 and in the European Union in 2025 highlight its ongoing threat. LSD is primarily transmitted by blood-feeding arthropods (e.g. mosquitoes and ticks), with symptoms including fever, skin nodules and mucosal lesions. Reduced milk production, weight loss, damage to hides, trade restrictions and costly biosecurity measures cause significant economic losses, threatening small-scale farmers and livestock industries. The virus persists in dehydrated skin lesions and vectors, complicating control. Vaccination remains critical, with homologous Neethling strain vaccines offering strong protection but sometimes associated with localised skin reactions ('the Neethling response') and vaccine virus shedding in milk and blood. The Standing Group of Experts on LSD (SGE LSD), established in 2016, fosters regional collaboration to combat the disease. Effective cross-border cooperation, timely reporting through systems like the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) operated by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and implementation of emergency measures are vital to mitigating its impact. The 2025 outbreaks underscore the urgency of maintaining robust prevention and response strategies. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
