    It has been announced that India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Islamic Republic of Iran from 22 May 2016. Expectations are high that he will firm up the Chabahar Agreement, committing substantial Indian investment to develop the all-weather, deep-sea port for Iran. This would mark a culmination point in a project that has long been envisioned and planned. Chabahar could become a gateway linking Eurasia to the Indian Ocean littoral.
