Shipping, Road Transport and Highways Minister Gadkari termed his meeting with Iranian Minister on Chabahar Port "fruitful".

“We have had a good discussion with the minister (Md Javad Zarif). The first ship from Brazil has already been received at Chabahar... The financial arrangement is ready. There were some problems, but we have resolved the issues,” Gadkari said.
“Proposals on barter system between the two nations can also be considered”, Gadkari said. He said the Iranian minister had given many proposals.
"They need steel, particularly real steel and locomotive engines, and they are ready to supply urea," he stated. India can provide steel rails to Iran and the Persian gulf nation can provide urea to India, he added.
