India expects to secure a “long-term arrangement” with Iran on the management of the Iranian port of Chabahar, New Delhi’s foreign minister said on Monday, as the country’s shipping minister left to visit Iran, Reuters has reported.

The deputy transport minister of Tajikistan said her country is interested in investing at Iran’s Chabahar Port in logistics affairs.

Nearly one million tons of minerals and construction materials were exported from Iran’s Chabahar Port in the 12 months of the previous Iranian calendar year (ended March 19, 2024), showing a 23% growth compared to a year earlier.
