Iran is in talks with an Indonesian company to export 1.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually to the Southeast Asian country, Press TV reported, citing an Iranian energy official.

Iran would start supplying Indonesia after 2013 and completion of the arrangements, Ali Kheir-Andish, managing director of Iran Liquefied Natural Gas Co., said in a report published by the state-run satellite news channel today. Kheir- Andish didn’t identify the Indonesian company.

Iran intended to start exporting LNG at least five years ago. Kheir-Andish said on April 10 that Iran LNG, the country’s maiden LNG project, is poised to begin exporting by the end of next year after tapping domestic funds to beat international sanctions over the country’s nuclear program.
