President Dr. Hassan Rouhani on Monday announced that May 23 will henceforth be called the 'Day of Chabahar' as India, Iran and Afghanistan signed the historic Chabahar Agreement. Meanwhile, Afghan President Ghani lauded the Chabahar agreement saying, "100 years from now, historians will remember this day as the start of regional cooperation." President Rouhani pointed that the agreement was not against any other country. "This is a very important day for Iranians and now on it is going to be even more important because today is going to mark the day of cooperation between three of us, Iran, India and Afghanistan and from now on this day can be called the day of Chabahar," he said at trilateral summit. "Of course the symbol of such cooperation is Chahbahar and Bahar means spring and it is a spring for three of us," he added.
