Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated Iran's newly elected president Ebrahim Raisi , and said he looked forward to working with him to further strengthen the warm ties between India and Iran.
Iran's hard-line judiciary chief won a landslide victory on Saturday in the country's presidential election, a vote that both propelled the supreme leader's protege into Tehran's highest civilian position and saw the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic's history.
In a tweet, Mr. Modi said, "Congratulations to His Excellency Ebrahim Raisi on his election as President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I look forward to working with him to further strengthen the warm ties between India and Iran."
