Praising India for procuring oil from Russia despite pressure from western countries in the backdrop of the ongoing Ukraine war, Iran on Friday urged India to resume importing oil from there. It also called for faster implementation of the Chabahar port project.
These assertions were made here by Iranian ambassador to New Delhi Iraj Elahi who also urged India to use the Chabahar port to send various shipments saying the key transit hub will benefit both the countries.
Located in the Sistan-Balochistan province on the energy-rich Iran’s southern coast, the Chabahar port is being developed by India, Iran and Afghanistan to boost connectivity and trade ties.
