Tehran, IRNA – Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has hailed Iran’s longstanding relations with India, saying Tehran is committed to further deepening the partnership with New Delhi.
“Today, we celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations between modern states of Iran and India,” Araqchi wrote on his X account on Saturday. “We are eager to further strengthen our partnership for the prosperity of our nations.”
He said these historical and civilizational ties have made the two countries inseparable. “Of course, our shared history and cultural bonds go back centuries if not millennia, joining our nations at the hip.”
The top diplomat continued by saying that “these ties have been paramount in paving the way for mutual growth and cooperation.”
India and Iran signed a friendship treaty on March 15, 1950, three years after New Delhi declared independence from the British colonial rule.
Over the past 75 years, their contemporary relationship has grown, building on historical ties through high-level exchanges, growing trade and connectivity initiatives, cultural engagements, and vibrant people-to-people connections.
