Financial Express Chennai|January 03, 2025

Iran is looking at increasing bilateral trade with India, including via the Chabahar port.

From tourism to agriculture, Tehran wants to boost ties with Delhi and bilateral talks will take place before the Trump administration takes charge on January 20.

Sources said Iran would also like to get a sense from Indian officials on dealing with sanctions - India has stopped buying oil from Iran due to the threat of sanctions, but has continued to buy oil from Russia despite sanctions.

A top Iranian government source said while the "circumstances" of Russia and Iran are "different", these questions merit discussions. "We don't want to deal with the past, but want to look into the future," the source said.
