President Rouhani to visit India in February

Rouhani’s visit is scheduled to take place after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from another trip to West Asia, including Palestine, the UAE and Oman.
India and Iran have started development of Chahbahar port, giving Afghanistan a route to the sea bypassing Pakistan. On Dec. 25, Rouhani signed into force the Chabahr international transport and transit corridor agreement between the governments of Iran, Afghanistan and India.
