Abbas Araghchi has urged India to continue investing in Chabahar Port despite US sanctions on Iran. Speaking in New Delhi, Araghchi called the port a “golden gate” for India to access Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe. He said progress had slowed because of American sanctions but expressed hope that India would complete the project. Chabahar gives India direct access to Afghanistan and Central Asia without passing through Pakistan. Iran also asked India to play a bigger role in promoting peace in West Asia.
