According to a US embassy cable leaked by Julian Assange's whistleblower WikiLeaks, V.K. Sinha, Ministry of External Affairs Joint Secretary for Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran Affairs, told American diplomats that, he had traveled to Tehran in advance of Manouchehr Mottaki's visit to India in order to prepare for the event and "make sure the Iranians don't do something to catch us off-guard." He also attended all three of Mottaki's official meetings. Describing Iranian government ineptitude in determining the members of Mottaki's accompanying delegation, Sinha rolled his eyes and exclaimed that "the Iranians are even more disorganized than we are" and confided that Indian government hosts did not know the composition of the group until Mottaki's plane landed, which created protocol headaches for the Indians. Manouchehr Mottaki was accompanied by, among others, the deputy ministers for oil, power, and foreign trade. Manouchehr Mottaki visited India in 2010.

Sinha emphasized that the current focus of India's historical relationship with Iran is India's dependence of Iranian oil and gas. Sinha explained that Iran is India's second largest supplier of crude oil and that it would be difficult for India to find an alternative supplier. Endorsing the fact that Iran is under evil administration, V.K. Sinha said, "We'll sup with the devil as long as we get our crude".
