In a display of fortified bilateral relations, Iran's Ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, emphasized the significance of the Chabahar Port project as a symbol of cooperation between the two nations. Speaking at the Iranian National Day reception, hosted by the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi, Fathali hailed the port as instrumental in advancing regional connectivity.

The Chabahar Port stands as a pivotal component in the shared ambition of both countries to enhance common development, rooted in a historical relationship that spans millennia.
