Pakistan will buy more electricity from neighbouring Iran, a finance ministry statement said on Tuesday.
The decision was taken at an Economic Coordination Committee chaired by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
Energy-starved Pakistan already has contracts to purchase electricity from Tehran for its border regions, especially for China-backed development projects on Gwadar port.
The new proposal came a week after the Iranian foreign minister visited Islamabad.
The finance ministry did not give details of the quantity or terms and conditions of the new purchase.
