New Delhi: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is stalling the BRICS consensus on West Asia conflict and Iran will welcome any initiative by India to bring peace to the region, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Wednesday, ahead of a key conclave of the grouping.
Gharibabadi, currently visiting India, told a select group of journalists that Iran and Oman are developing a new service-and-payment-based framework for the passage of merchant vessels through the Strait of Hormuz in line with international norms.
