Tehran (ISNA) - Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Kumar Doval, who is in Tehran, met with the Iran's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani on Monday, discussing political, security, economic, bilateral, regional and international issues.

During the meeting, Shamkhani said, "The deep-rooted cultural, historical, and civilizational ties, the will of the leaders of the two countries, and the strategic independence of Iran and India are the main platforms for developing bilateral cooperation".

Stressing that Iran-India relations are not against any other country, and are not affected by the will of third parties, Shamkhani stated, "Global and regional developments have created favorable conditions for strengthening interactions between Iran and India in various fields such as energy, transportation, transit, technology, and banking".

"Activating the rial-rupee mechanism is a necessary and important step that will play a decisive role in advancing common goals in various economic areas," he emphasized.

Welcoming the promotion of India's role and position in regional and international developments, Shamkhani considered Delhi's active participation in political, economic, and security initiatives with the attendance of the countries of Central Asian and the Persian Gulf region necessary and constructive.

He added that decisions made to remove obstacles to continuing cooperation in the Chabahar project can be very effective in changing the current unfavorable situation.
