New Delhi, Jan. 6 -- Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is expected to visit New Delhi next week for consultations with senior Indian leaders against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving situation in West Asia, people familiar with the matter said on Monday. Preparations for the visit are still being finalised, though Araghchi is likely to be in New Delhi during January 15-16, people from both sides said on condition of anonymity. This will be Araghchi's second visit to the country; he last travelled to New Delhi in May 2025, while India was engaged in a four-day conflict with Pakistan. Advancing cooperation for the development of Chabahar port, regional connectivity, bolstering trade and regional developments such as the peace process in Gaza are among the issues that are expected to be on the agenda for the visit, the people said. The visit will also be an opportunity for the Iranian side to explain its response to protests in Tehran and several cities over economic issues. India is chairing Brics this year, and cooperation with partners such as Iran will be crucial for shaping the agenda of the grouping. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to travel to India to attend the Brics Summit later this year....
