(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist)- Iran has decided to go it alone on the rail line from Chabahar port to Zahedan — the project that was slated to be carried out with Indian assistance.
According to Iran said India was delaying funding and other associated aspects. The unexpected development comes four years after the two sides had reached an agreement to construct the 628 km rail line along the Iran-Afghanistan border.
Iran’s decision to cancel India’s participation in the project, coming in the backdrop of a fast-moving strategic deal with China, could soon whip up a storm in diplomatic circles.
It may be noted here that China and Iran are giving final shape to a colossal partnership package worth $400-billion, to be spread over the next two decades and a half.
