 "FM Nirmala Sitharaman and US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin")
India, on Friday, reiterated its stance to the United States regarding the importance of a strategic relationship with Iran in the face of denial of land access by Pakistan to Afghanistan. This was conveyed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to her US counterpart, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
“From our side we explained the Indian position, particularly the need to maintain land-based access to Afghanistan. We explained the need for us to have the Chabahar port link, and from there the rail corridor to Afghanistan. This is especially in the context of Pakistan denying us access through land,” Sitharaman said.
