The visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Pakisitan for the inauguration of the North-South pipeline is still undecided, said Russian envoy Alexey Y Dedov.

He recalled that Russia had agreed to finance the two billion dollar North-South gas pipeline, which would open more trade avenues between the two countries.
