Synopsis
India is hoping to boost its involvement in the Chabahar Port, including a trilateral arrangement not only with Afghanistan but also with Uzbekistan. The Port is New Delhi’s key gateway to Afghanistan and its significance for India will increase as the landlocked country prepares for a political settlement.
The first phase of the project was inaugurated in December 2017.
NEW DELHI: India has stepped up engagements with its extended neighbour Iran by handing over cranes for the strategically located Chabahar Port within days of the Biden administration taking charge.
