Raisi and Abdollahian contributed ‘immensely’ to growth of the India-Iran relationship: EAM Jaishankar
On Tuesday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited the Embassy of Iran in New Delhi as the country observed a day’s state mourning in a mark of respect to Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and the country’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
The National Flag is being flown at half-mast on all buildings today and no official entertainment has been scheduled.
Jaishankar said in a post on X after visiting the Iranian Embassy, “They will always be remembered as friends of India who contributed immensely to the growth of the India-Iran relationship. The Government of India stands in solidarity with the people of Iran at this very difficult time.”
Raisi and Abdollahian were among nine people who died when their helicopter crashed in Iran’s mountainous north-west while they were returning from the Azerbaijan border after flagging off joint projects in the region.
