- India has began shipment of 1.1 million tonnes wheat to Afghanistan through the Iranian port of Chabahar.
- The consignment would be the first to use the new route via Chabahar to access Afghanistan after Trilateral Agreement on Establishment of International Transport and Transit Corridor was signed.
- The consignment was flagged off by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Afghan counterpart Salahuddin Rabbani through a joint video conference.
- India had earlier sent goods through the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in 2003 as Pakistan had not eased land access to Afghanistan.
