Armenia wants to join Chabahar port for India access

Armenia is in talks to join Iran’s Chabahar Port as it seeks access to India and other Asian nations, the country’s deputy foreign minister Mnatsakan Safaryan told Economic Times. 

The country is hoping for early linkages between the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and the Chabahar Port for seamless connectivity.

“The Armenian delegation recently participated in a high-level meeting in Mumbai on Chabahar Port utilisation,” Safaryan said. “We are in talks to join the port and hope that the connectivity between the Chabahar Port and INSTC is completed soon. There are indications that this link will be concluded within a year.”
