North-South Corridor is India’s Top Priority, Says Indian Foreign Minister

The North-South international transport corridor aligns with global interests, and for India, this project represents the highest priority. This statement was made by India’s Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar during a press conference following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

"This project is in accordance with both our interests and those of the global economy. It is among our top priorities," said Jaishankar.

Earlier, India’s ambassador to Armenia, Nilakshi Saha Sinha, announced that India welcomes Armenia's decision to participate in the development project of the Chabahar port and is ready to work with Yerevan within the framework of the North-South transport corridor.

She clarified that India and Iran closely cooperate within this corridor, which connects the Persian Gulf countries with the Caspian Sea, Russia, and the EU. Armenia is also a part of the project, and India is prepared to work with it to understand what benefits can be gained from the corridor's operation.
