Iran, India Brace for Developing Chabahar Port: CEO of PMO
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A major part of the disputes between Iran and India has been settled regarding the development of the Chabahar Port, the chief executive of Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) said.
Ali Akbar Safaei pointed to a visit by an Indian delegation to Iran last week and said constructive talks were held during the visit to settle the differences regarding a long-term contract for the development of the Chabahar Port.
It is hoped that the remaining stumbling blocks between Iran and India would be settled during upcoming visits by Indian delegations to Iran for finalizing a long-term contract to develop Chabahar port, the deputy roads minister stated.
The dispute between Iran and India was not supposed to be raised at international courts but it was an issue between the two friendly countries and will be resolved soon, he continued.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the development of Makran coastal areas in southeast Iran and added that its development will help the development of other coastal areas of the country to a great extent.
