Ali Larijani, senior Iranian leader and Speaker of the Iranian Majlis (Parliament), is in India on a four-day visit at a time when Tehran is making renewed efforts to connect with its neighbourhood.
Mr. Larijani will be meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Wednesday besides calling on President Pranab Mukherjee. But sources detailing his visit pointed out that Mr. Larijani’s most important interaction will take place on Thursday when he meets National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon.
Besides exchanging views on available formats for making payments for oil imported from Iran, the two sides will discuss communication links that have been in the works for long. Sources said Mr. Larijani, having been associated for long with the Iranian energy sector, is also expected to touch on the opportunities available for India, especially with a gas pipeline expected to reach the port of Chah-bahar and the declaration of a contiguous area as a free trade zone. By the time he interacts with Mr. Menon, the fate of yet another round of dialogue between Iran and 5+1 (Five permanent UNSC members plus Germany) to be held in Kazakhstan will be clear.
