Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will be on a three-day visit to India from Thursday. Bilateral talks are likely to focus on the progress on the Chabahar port of Iran that New Delhi is helping develop, bilateral trade — particularly the issue of Indian investment in Iran's Farzad-B gas field and India’s oil imports from Iran.

Mutual concerns over regional security, especially the situation in Afghanistan, should also come up for discussions between Rouhani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi when they hold their delegation level talks in New Delhi on Saturday.

Rouhani's is the first visit by an Iranian President to New Delhi
