Just as China is helping to develop Pakistan’s port of Gwadar, India is helping to develop Iran’s Chabahar port 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) away. Chabahar is not useful only to counter China; it will serve as a vital link for India to transport goods to Afghanistan, Central Asia, and beyond.
正如中国帮助巴基斯坦开发瓜达尔港，印度也在帮助伊朗开发伊朗的恰巴哈尔港，两者只相差70公里。恰巴哈尔不但可以用于制衡蒸锅，还可以成为印度将货物运往阿富汗、中亚和其他地区的重要节点。印度甚至可以以恰巴哈尔港为节点开发重要的通信枢纽。
