Relations between India and Iran have mutually benefited both the countries and have promoted regional security and prosperity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian called on him on Wednesday.

Abdollahian is on a three-day visit to India to further enhance bilateral ties.

"Was happy to receive Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian for a useful discussion on further development of Centuries-old civilisational links between India and Iran. Our relations have mutually benefited both the countries and have promoted regional security and prosperity," the prime minister tweeted.

Abdollahian called on Modi after holding wide-ranging talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

The Iranian foreign minister also met national security advisor Ajit Doval.

Iran has been a key country for India in the Gulf region.

The two sides have been jointly focusing on improving connectivity between South East Asia and Central Asia.

At a connectivity conference in Tashkent last in July last year, Jaishankar projected Iran's Chabahar Port as a key regional transit hub including Afghanistan. -- PTI
