India’s First Shipment Of Wheat To Reach Afghanistan Via Iran’s Chabahar Port

Chabahar Port in Iran


India’s first shipment of wheat to Afghanistan will reach the war-torn country through the Chabahar Port in Iran, Kabul-based TOLO News has reported, quoting officials from the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI).

According to ACCI officials, India will send at least 130,000 tons of wheat to Afghanistan in this shipment. “This process is crucial for strengthening trade and transit relations of Afghanistan with India and Iran. We will continue our efforts to provide better grounds for increasing trade activities,” the ACCI deputy head for trade, Kamila Sediqi, was quoted by TOLO News as saying.

This comes just days after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani concluded his visit to India this week. Ghani had appreciated India’s move to send wheat to Afghanistan.

Afghanistan, a land-locked country, is completely dependent on Pakistan for access to the sea. Pakistan refuses to give India land access to Afghanistan while it permits Afghan trucks access to Wagah border with India.

Chabahar port, which is being developed by India, gives Kabul and New Delhi an alternative route to expand trade between the two countries. It bypasses Pakistan, limiting Kabul’s dependence on Islamabad for access to the sea. The port will also give India access to resource-rich countries in central Asia.

More important point is, will Iran allow India to provide logistics to US army through Chabahar, in case talks between USA and Pakistan fail(Though I think that's unlikely despite the filibuster)?

 

[MultaniGuy]

lol, This Chabahar is no match for Gwadar.

Lets play with India. LOL

This development is going to have very long term repercussions on Pakistan Afghanistan relations. Pres Ghani will get embolden with the new trade route. Moreover India may assure food logistics for U.S. and NATO forces thru this route.

Well we are supposed to be a major non-NATO ally.

But I oppose this.

I am against Pakistan being a major non-Nato Ally.

This moniker is all bullshit.

Pakistan should learn its lesson and never buy American good every again, because it comes with strings attached.

Pakistanis have learnt their lesson now.

When dealing with those fuc/kers knowns as Americans.

Listen idiot,

but Iran and USA are huge enemies and their interests do not align.

but Iran and USA are huge enemies and their interests do not align.

Russia and America are bigger enemies yet, US sells many items to Russia and many Russian brands are running in US.

They do business although in a subtle way, and have a lot of cultural exchanges. Including people to people comm. There are Russians working in US and vise versa.

While Pakistans policy revolve around the theory of "friend or enemy". That will weigh you down and is weighing you down.

Sorry but your logic is flawed.

Iran and USA are mortal enemies. They do not even have diplomatic relations.

Their interests do not align.

Flawed analogy by bringing in Russia.

So, how do you explain the OP? Do you think US will stop this shipment and so and so.

Wake up and smell the coffee. The only flawed analogy here is your thoughts that, US is a big factor in Iran-India trade relations. So is Afghan India trade.

Anyway, your loss is Irans gain.
