The Foreign Affairs Ministry of India, Armenia, and Iran held their first trilateral consultations in Yerevan to strengthen regional cooperation. The delegations were led by officials from the three countries, and they discussed a wide range of issues, particularly economic issues and regional communication. They also discussed trilateral cooperation in various fields, including the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a freight corridor connecting India, Iran, and Russia. The INSTC agreement was signed by Russia, Iran, and India in 2002 and has since expanded. Armenia and India have celebrated 30 years of bilateral diplomatic relations in 2022, and the two countries maintain active political ties and effective cooperation within international bodies. India-Iran relations have historic ties and share a common cultural heritage, and the Chabahar port in Iran has been key to connectivity between the two nations.

India-Iran relations span millennia with both countries having historic ties and sharing a common cultural heritage. The Chabahar port in Iran has been key to connectivity between the two nations. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited Armenia in October 2021 to strengthen India’s bilateral ties with Armenia. India-Iran relations, on the other hand, have deep historical roots and cultural ties. The Chabahar port in Iran is an important port for India as it provides connectivity to Afghanistan and Central Asia, bypassing Pakistan. India, Iran and Afghanistan have also signed an agreement to develop the Chabahar port and establish a transport and transit corridor.
