Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has hailed as “very good” a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held on the sideline of the BRICS summit underway in Kazan, Russia.

In a post on his X account, written in Persian language, Indian premier said the two sides discussed the bilateral ties and also ways to expand relations in advanced and innovative sectors, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

 
The two officials are in Kazan to attend the 16^th annual summit of BRICS hosted by the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
 
President Pezeshkian’s participation in the three-day summit follows an official invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
 
It is the first summit of BRICS since the group expanded earlier this year to officially include Iran and a number of other countries. 
 
Pezeshkian is set to deliver three keynote addresses in Kazan, highlighting Iran’s views on global economic cooperation, multilateralism and the need for stronger partnerships among developing countries.
