Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari attended the inauguration of Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian at a ceremony in Tehran in Tuesday (July 30, 2024). On the occasion, Minister Nitin Gadkari conveyed good wishes from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to President Pezeshkian on assuming office.

“Attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s President, H.E. Masoud Pezeshkian, in Tehran today. Heartfelt congratulations to H.E. @drpezeshkian on behalf of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, the Indian Government and people of India.

We look forward to continued collaboration and mutual growth, reaffirming our commitment to furthering India-Iran relations across various sectors for the prosperity and development of both countries,” Gadkari posted on social media X, formerlyTwitter. 

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), during Minister Gadkari’s interactions in Iran, both sides positively assessed the state of bilateral relations, including cooperation on the development of Chabahar Port.

“Both sides underscored that Chabahar Port would contribute to strengthening bilateral and regional trade. It would provide access to landlocked Afghanistan and Central Asian countries to regional and global markets,” the MEA stated. 

Pezeshkian won the recent presidential election that was held following the death of his predecessor, Ebrahim Raisi, in a helicopter crash on May 19, 2024. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several other officials also died in the crash. 

India declared a one-day national mourning on May 21, 2024 as a mark of respect to the departed leaders. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar visited Iran on May 22, 2024 to represent India at an official ceremony commemorating the two leaders. (India News Network)
