New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated Masoud Pezeshkian on being elected as the President of Iran.
"I look forward to working closely with you to further strengthen our warm and long-standing bilateral relations for the benefit of our people and the region," he said in a post on Twitter.
Reformist candidate Pezeshkian won Iran's runoff presidential election on Saturday, defeating hard-liner Saeed Jalili in an effort to ease the imposition of the country's mandatory headscarf law after reaching out to the West and squeezing the Islamic republic after years of sanctions and protests. Won by promising.
