In this era of promoting connectivity in this region, Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a two-day trip to Iran to boost bilateral ties on energy ,trade and security.Alexander the great ,the world conqueror is believed to have entered India through Afghanistan via Chabahar route .
Chabahar has emerged as a symbol of regional trade connectivity between various countries from South Asia to central Asia / Mid east and on wards to European continent.
Connectivity is a cornerstone of regional economic progress and Indian prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Tehran is of special significance as it will boost oil and energy cooperation between the two countries and regional security in the wake of Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan .
India and Iran efforts to provide connectivity to a land-locked country like Afghanistan will give required boost to the economic upliftment in this region.
Apart from these issues , Modi will also sign an agreement on Frazad-B gas field where India will get involved in exploration activities . Moreover India will be investing heavily in Iran's economic infrastructure .
As expected , Israel, Pakistan,Saudi Arabia, United States and China will be watching the outcome of the meeting between PM Narendra Modi and Iran's top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ,Iran's supreme leader who is the decision maker in all policy matters of the country.
All the countries will be devising their respective implications of the meeting . On the day of Modi's visit to Iran,an advocacy group in the US has said Modi should focus his efforts on pressuring Tehran to halt its “destabilizing and d provocative” behaviour.
