"We have decided to take advantage of this opportunity,
and hold meetings with Indian officials with a big economic and political
delegation,” said Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday evening at the Delhi airport.
He said Iran had struck a “good banking agreement” with
India which was signed in fall which allowed for trading goods between the two
countries.
The official also said that the strong presence of private
sector representatives in the Iranian delegation in the visit to India was an
indication of their interest in reaching out to their Indian opposite numbers
for furthering cooperation.
"There are many areas for the expansion of bilateral
relations between Iran and India, one of which is Chabahar," he said.
“The Indians are interested in being present in Chabahar and
in the transit infrastructure of Iran.”
