NEW DELHI: Iran wants to involve India at a later stage in its Farzad-B gas field, a spokesman of the Indian foreign ministry said on Thursday, days after India lost the field discovered by its ONGC Videsh Limited in Iran.
“Iran had decided to develop the Farzad B gas field on its own and wanted to involve India at a later stage,” Indian foreign ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi told reporters at a regular foreign ministry briefing.
Bagchi also said that the involvement of the Indian consortium was ongoing and that the authorities are in touch with their Iranian counterparts. The development of the field was seen as a key element of cooperation and ties between India and Iran.
