US Grants India Sanctions Waiver for Chabahar Port
The US has granted India a six-month sanctions waiver to operate the Iranian port of Chabahar.
This move boosts New Delhi's effort to enhance trade with Afghanistan and Central Asian countries, bypassing its rival Pakistan.
- India signed a 10-year contract with Iran to develop and operate the port.
- The port on Iran's southeastern Gulf of Oman coast was initially planned with a rail link to Afghanistan.
The goal is to build the landlocked country's economy through trade and reduce Kabul's dependence on Karachi Port.
India has also stepped up its ties with Taliban-run Afghanistan by reopening its embassy in Kabul.
