"It would also open up business opportunities for investors of both India and Iran to invest in each other's country," he said.

Gadkari also said that the two countries have sorted out all issues pertaining to the Chabahar Port in their discussions.

His remarks came after he held bilateral talks with Iranian Roads and Urban Development Minister Abbas Akhoundi here.

The talks were preceded by an Indo-Iran Joint Business Seminar attended by officials and nearly a hundred delegates from the public and private sector and various trade bodies from both countries.

The seminar focussed on Chabahar Port, opportunities in Free Zone and Transit Corridors.

Gadkari said the Indo-Iran Joint Business Seminar was a fruitful exercise for exploring business opportunities in the two countries. He expressed confidence that the meeting would help to further strengthen the good relations between the two countries.
