Iran seeks USD 8 bn Indian investments

Iran has invited Indian investments of about USD 8 billion in infrastructure projects in their country without wasting time in ¨cheap negotiations¨. Asserting that Iran has been a ¨reliable partner¨, Iranian Ambassador Gholamreza Ansari said India should take advantage of the time before the Western countries start making their investments after lifting of sanctions in the next 3-5 months. ¨India has always been there even during the difficult time of sanctions. They should take advantage of their presence on the ground. Otherwise, it will be a lost opportunity,¨ Ansari said.
