Jidesh Kumar on Chabahar Port and US Sanctions Risks in an article by Business Standard

In an article titled “Govt assessing if Chabahar Port may have spillover effects of US sanctions” published by Business Standard, Jidesh Kumar provided insights on the potential implications of US sanctions on the Chabahar Port project and related Indian port entities.
