NEW DELHI: With the US-Iran interim peace agreement, Tehran is hoping to emerge as a top supplier to India again and is sending petroleum minister Mohsen Paknejad here next week for a Brics meeting, officials said, reports. He is likely to have a bilateral meeting with counterpart Hardeep Puri, but this is yet to be confirmed. Iranian ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali told a news agency Thursday that India required reliable, stable and affordable energy supplies, and Iran possessed capabilities to meet these needs. If sanctions were lifted, he said, there was no doubt Iran could once again become one of India's "principal oil suppliers".
Questions ouvertes
