Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the escalating situation in West Asia and ways to expand bilateral ties, as the Iranian leader arrived in New Delhi for the BRICS summit.
The meeting, their second in less than two weeks, comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia and fresh punitive economic measures imposed by the US on Iran. It was also Pezeshkian’s first visit to India since becoming Iran’s president.
