Another shipment of wheat from India arrives at Chabahar Port
India’s eighth shipment of wheat for Afghanistan arrived on Saturday at Chabahar Port in Iran, officials confirmed.
The cargo ship loaded with 8,097 tons of wheat is part of the gift of 75,000 tons from India to Afghanistan.
Already, 53,000 tons have arrived over the past few months.
Managing Director of Sistan and Balouchestan Ports and Maritime Organization, Behrouz Aqayee said Saturday that once the cargo has been offloaded it will again be transported to Afghanistan by road.
This shipment is in accordance with a trilateral agreement between Afghanistan, Iran and India allowing land-locked Afghanistan critical access to a sea port.
Since the agreement, signed in 2016, at least 14 cargo ships have carried basic goods for Afghanistan via Chabahar over the past two years.
