Are China and Iran Consolidating their ‘Strategic’ Partnership?
July 21, 2020
Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Md. Muddassir Quamar’s opinion piece on the proposed Iran-China strategic agreement, titled ‘Are China and Iran Consolidating their ‘Strategic’ Partnership?’has been published by Raksha Anirveda on July 18, 2020.
Though the news of China and Iran entering into US$400 billion agreement and Iran going ahead with Chabahar-Zahedan railway project are unrelated, the timing was uncanny and left many wondering whether China and Iran are entering a new phase of ‘strategic’ partnership at the expense of India, writes Dr. Quamar.
