“I offer my condolences to the family and relatives of the late former Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, and to entire people and government of #India,” he wrote in an X post.

“Dr. Singh was a great leader for India and a great supporter of relations between the two nations of Iran and India,” Pezeshkian added.
