Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain has said oil prices in Pakistan are still the lowest in the region.
In his tweets today (Thursday), he said the country imports oil, hence, its prices will go up when these increase in the world market.
This is the principle for the rest of imports.
