Iran seeking to link Chabahar port to key railway network: Minister
Back in May, Bazrpash said that India had been developing Chabahar on Iran’s southeastern coast along the Gulf of Oman to facilitate the transfer of goods to Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asian countries, as an alternative to the port of Karachi and Gwadar in rival Pakistan.
He made those remarks after signing a contract with India to develop the port of Chabahar.
Bazrpash had said he proposed a plan to Indian officials to launch a joint shipping company between Iran and India to expand transit routes in the region, adding, “This proposal will be officially presented soon.”
