Iranian president visits New Delhi for talks on gas agreement
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made his first visit to New Delhi, despite strong US objections, to discuss a gas pipeline that would link Iran and India.
New Delhi has made it clear that it will look to any source to feed its energy hungry economy, and the South Asian countries are reportedly close to striking a deal. The US last week said India should press Ahmadinejad to end Iran's atomic program and its alleged aid to Islamic militant groups in the Middle East, such as Hizbullah and Hamas. (AP)
