Doval, in his remarks also called upon the member states to have mutual respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of member states.

Regarding connectivity, he said that it remains a key priority for India.

Doval also underlined that India’s foreign policy is based on these very principles and reflects “our commitment in every possible manner”. He also highlighted the issue of Chabahar port during the meeting.

“India is committed to fulfilling its obligations in the under the International North-South Transport Corridor and the inclusion of the Port within the framework of INSTC,” Doval stated.
