Chabahar Port Development: The operation of Chabahar Port in Iran can start from next month. After a brief halt at this port that is strategically important, India has intensified work since the beginning of this year. This information has been given in a report of the US Parliament (Chabahar Port Construction Progress). In its new report to US lawmakers, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said that in 2015, India was ready to help in the work of laying the Chabahar port and railway line of Iran.
This railway line will help India to trade unimpeded from Afghanistan without passing through Pakistan. This 100-page report said that in May 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Iran and signed an agreement to invest $ 500 million to develop the port and its related infrastructure (Importance of Developing Chabahar Port by India). Although the Trump administration had exempted India’s ‘Afghanistan Reconstruction’ project from its stringent sanctions on Iran, India stopped work on the project by the end of 2020.
India accelerated the work
The CRS report states, “It accelerated the work in early 2021 and the port is expected to start operations by May 2021.” The report of the independent organization CRS has been prepared by experts and is not considered an official report of the US Parliament (Chabahar Port Benefits for Afghanistan). The report says that Iran’s economy is linked to its immediate neighbors in South Asia. CRS said that Iran’s economic relations with Pakistan (Chabahar Port in Iran) are less extensive than its economic relations with India.
The quad was also strengthened
It also states that mistrust of China’s role in the Indo-Pacific region has strengthened the Quad. The quad includes Australia, India, Japan and the US (Chabahar Port Belongs to Which Country). The CRS said that in 2017, the Trump administration made efforts to advance the quad dialogue. He said, “The Biden administration adopted this initiative and had a digital meeting with Japan, Australia and India in March 2021.” According to the report, in this meeting, world leaders also talked about increasing the availability of COVID-19 vaccine.
Promise to provide billions of vaccines
With this, the meeting promised to provide billions of vaccines to Southeast Asia and the wider Indo-Pacific region by the end of 2022. The report states that Chabahar Port is located in Which Country’s plan to reduce monopolies and dependencies and work together to strengthen the Paris Agreement, and the move is a mutual cooperation. Can start a new chapter in the direction.
