Iran FM to meet Sushma today; may seek India's support to salvage N-deal

The Chabahar port project is also likely to figure in the meeting

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will hold extensive talks with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tomorrow during which he is expected to seek India's support for Iran's nuclear deal with six world powers in the wake of Washington's withdrawal from it.

Zarif's day-long visit here is part of Tehran's efforts to reach out to major world powers after the US pulled out from the landmark nuclear deal of 2015 under which Tehran had agreed to stop its sensitive nuclear activities in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.

The issue is expected to be discussed extensively in the talks between
