Iran Highlights Long-Standing Ties with India Ahead of BRICS Summit Visit
Iran has reaffirmed its long-standing, historic, and civilisational ties with India ahead of President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit on September 12-13. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei emphasized the importance of bilateral cooperation, particularly in trade and the strategically significant Chabahar Port. The two countries aim to use the summit to deepen economic and strategic discussions. The meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the SCO Summit marked their first since the West Asia conflict escalated earlier this year. The United States continues to monitor India-Iran engagements closely.
