India on Tuesday said that a decision on import of oil from Iran will be taken after the general elections as External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met her visiting Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, weeks after the US ended its Iranian oil waiver for India and others.
Sources said the Iranian Foreign Minister's visit took place at his own initiative to brief the Indian side on his country's approach to the recent developments in the region, including on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the nuclear pact) and to review bilateral cooperation.
This was part of Tehran's consultation with other countries in the region including Russia, China, Turkmenistan, and Iraq over the last few days.
