The only economical way for the Indians to transport the copper out of
Afghanistan is by building a railhead at the mine to be linked to the Iranian
railway system and on to Chahbahar. Iran is currently extending its railway
network to Herat province that would pass some 12 kilometers from the Shaida
copper mine; the one Indians are hoping to get long-term concession for
exploiting its rich copper deposits.
The trilateral meet is led by the Deputy Foreign Ministers of the
three countries.
