Iran is not part of BRICS. Although iRosie is wrong in saying that Iran hates India but Iran is certainly not in love with India. Iran was happy to drop all trade agreements with India as soon as sanctions on it were lifted under Obama administration. Iran is back to trading with India as soon as Trump imposed sanctions on it. This is business. It is not hard to imagine that every country has people who need basic necessities to get by. Trade and commerce is the best way to uplift standard of living. This is why India trades with US and this is why India trades with Russia or Iran or China or Japan or ... You get the picture. As far as India is concerned, its trade is aimed at improving the lives of average Indians. It is not aimed at challenging dollar or any country.
China has attacked India quite a few times. Not too long ago, there was a serious military standoff between India and China. So there is some hate in China towards India but at the end of the day, China too has mouth to feed and therefore trade and commerce with India becomes an inevitability for China. To my surprise, trade between India and China have gone really up.
I never said Iran was in that deal..........India and China are............on the money deal they are in agreement....stop worrying about a few border spats.............they only have a quarter of the population of the earth between them. Probably fighting over a sandwich.
sorry vik------I still INSIST that Modi is skating on thin ice------getting
all kissy with china
Who do you suggest he should be kissing then?
??? ^^ NOT!!! I do not say----I advise against. There was a
time in my long drawn out life that I worked in proximity to lots of
young Indian and Iranian professionals-----new immigrants to
the USA-----Iranian disdain was palpable-----be not dismayed---
it was more intense toward Pakistanis----and MOST intense toward
muslim Indians. BEWARE, modi
