Nitin Gadkari may attend Iran President’s swearing-in

New Delhi: Road, transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari is likely to represent India at the Iran President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian’s swearing-in ceremony on July 30, displaying New Delhi’s commitment to the partnership marked by the recent 10-year-deal on the Chabahar Port.

India has been deputing senior ministers and leaders to Iran on important occasions in the backdrop of the nature of the partnership. Earlier this year, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar represented India at Iran’s former president Ebrahim Raisi’s funeral. Raisi played a key role in the bilateral pact that will allow India operations of the Chabahar Port for 10 years. India had played a role in Iran’s Brics membership last year.

Five presidents and ten parliament speakers from different countries will attend Pezeshkian’s inauguration. The election in Iran was necessitated following Raisi’s death in a helicopter crash. Raisi had plans to visit India this year.
