New Delhi:Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met his Indian
counterpart SM Krishna here today. Mottaki is on a two-day visit to India. Earlier
in the day, he met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The two leaders reportedly discussed
issues like the trilateral gas pipeline and terrorism originating from Pakistan.
This is the first high-level contact since the re-election of Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmedinejad in July. Discussions on collaborative projects like development
of integrated port-road-rail infrastructure are also likely to crop up. Talks
on Iran's controversial nuclear programme are also likely to be discussed between
the two leaders. This is Mottaki's second visit since 2006. He will also meet
Vice President Hamid Ansari.
