Chabahar Port Would Benefit Landlocked Afghanistan, Central Asia: India

India and Iran on Monday signed a 10-year agreement that provided for Indian operations at the Chabahar port.

India on Friday said a "narrow view" should not be taken on the long-term agreement between New Delhi and Tehran on the Chabahar port project as it would benefit landlocked Afghanistan, Central Asia and the entire region.

The remarks by Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal came days after the United States warned of sanctions following India and Iran sealing the deal.
