Chabahar Port

Notwithstanding US objections, India went ahead with the signing of an agreement with Iran for the development of the strategically important Chabahar port, which will give India sea land access route to Afghanistan bypassing Pakistan. The pact was signed after comprehensive talks between visiting road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari with the Iranian leadership here.
“The MoU was signed after the talks between the two sides,“ a source said. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, in his meeting with Gadkari, said, “Resumption of Iran-India cooperation in the southeastern Iranian port city of Chabahar would lead to a new chapter in relations between the two countries.“
