The top Iranian diplomat arrived in the Indian capital on Wednesday on an official visit.
Amirabdollahian posted a tweet on Wednesday night, praising his talks with Indian top officials, saying that Tehran and New Delhi are determined to expand their relations.
“Pleased to meet PM Modi, FM Jaishankar & other Indian officials to advance our bilateral strategic dialogue. Tehran & New Delhi agree on the need to respect divine religions & Islamic sanctities & to avoid divisive statements,” the tweet said, adding that Iran and India are “determined to bring relations to new heights.”
The Iranian foreign minister, during his talks with his Indian Counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, stressed the necessity of laying out a roadmap for cooperation between the two countries, saying that the move would help organize long-term relations and protect them from destructive factors.
Amirabdollahian’s tweet follows developments in the past week after an Indian ruling party lawmaker made insulting comments about the Prophet Mohammad.
Reacting to the comments, some Muslim countries summoned Indian diplomats in their soil, while people took to the streets in protest.
