Print - After the welcome, PM Modi and the Iran President held talks at what was described by the foreign ministry as a "restricted tete-a-tete". PM Modi will also hold talks with the country’s supreme religious and political leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
- Afghan president Ashraf Ghani is expected to join PM Modi and President Rouhani for the signing of the agreement on Chabahar, a strategic port in the Gulf of Oman on Iran’s southern coast with Afghanistan.
- The port in southeast Iran will allow India to bypass Pakistan to transport goods to Afghanistan and central Asia using a sea-land route.
- India will help develop the port and invest in the first phase around $200 million to develop terminals and cargo berths at Chabahar. In the next phase, India plans to build a 500-km railway line between Chabahar and Zahedan.
- Pakistan does not allow India to send goods through its territory to Afghanistan and has only recently begun to allow a trickle of Afghan exports to cross through to India.
- India’s move is also being seen as a balance to China’s influence in Pakistan. India wants to develop the port as a counter to Pakistan’s Gwadar port, which was built with Chinese assistance and is 72 km from Chabahar.
- PM Modi’s visit -- the first by a Indian Prime Minister in 15 years -- comes four months after the sanctions on Iran were lifted and the international community is re-engaging with the nation.
- Connectivity, energy security and bilateral trade are on top of PM Modi’s agenda. He will also inaugurate an Indian cultural festival in Iran.
- After arriving in Tehran last evening, the PM tweeted in Persian, "Reached Iran, a land with whom India shares civilisational ties. Hope to enhance economic partnership between our nations." On Sunday evening, PM Modi addressed the Indian community and visited a Gurdwara in Tehran.
- Before the visit, India has cleared part of its $6.4 billion oil dues to Iran.
