Chabahar Port Works Have Not Stopped - Dr. Mohammad Fathali

Iran’s Ambassador to India, Dr. Mohammad Fathali, said construction work on the strategically important Chabahar Port is progressing steadily despite sanctions. He dismissed recent media reports on the issue, calling them mere speculation.

He stated that Chabahar Port is crucial for India’s trade growth with Central Asia and Afghanistan. He expressed hope that the project would be completed by the end of this year. He also said Iran remains committed to the safe passage of Indian and friendly nations’ ships through the Strait of Hormuz and to the safety of Indians living in Iran.
